Oh,
we
rise
together
Oh,
we
rise
together
A
time
for
progress,
a
time
for
truth
Listen
to
the
heartbeat
of
the
people
For
the
vision,
for
the
future
From
the
dust
of
the
road
to
the
promise
of
the
day
Honourable
Mainga
Ndiulu
leads
the
way
He
looked
at
the
land,
he
saw
the
deep
need
Planting
the
future
like
a
precious
seed
In
Matamena,
the
walls
stand
tall
and
bright
A
school
for
the
children,
shedding
the
light
No
longer
walking
miles
in
the
rain
Now
they
have
a
future
to
break
every
chain
Oh,
Nalishi,
let’
s
vote
for
him
For
the
light
he
brings,
let
the
hope
begin
Matamena,
Lukuyu,
stand
side
by
side
With
Mainga
Ndiulu,
our
strength
and
our
pride
Let’
s
cast
our
vote,
let
the
future
ring
For
the
progress
that
his
hands
will
bring
Look
at
Lukalanya,
where
the
teacher
resides
A
house
built
with
care,
where
the
wisdom
abides
He
understands
that
the
leaders
who
teach
Need
a
home
and
a
shelter
within
their
reach
In
Namenji,
the
gravel
is
paved
on
the
ground
Connecting
our
brothers
to
the
strength
that
we
found
A
secondary
school
where
the
dreamers
can
grow
Watching
the
harvest
that
we’
re
destined
to
sow
Oh,
Nalishi,
let’
s
vote
for
him
For
the
light
he
brings,
let
the
hope
begin
Matamena,
Lukuyu,
stand
side
by
side
With
Mainga
Ndiulu,
our
strength
and
our
pride
Let’
s
cast
our
vote,
let
the
future
ring
For
the
progress
that
his
hands
will
bring
It’
s
not
just
talk,
it’
s
the
work
in
the
soil
It’
s
the
sweat
of
the
brow
and
the
fruit
of
the
toil
From
the
classrooms
built
to
the
roads
we
tread
He’
s
putting
the
hope
back
in
the
words
that
are
said
So
stand
up,
Nalishi,
the
time
is
at
hand
To
build
up
the
glory
of
our
beautiful
land
Oh,
Nalishi,
let’
s
vote
for
him
For
the
light
he
brings,
let
the
hope
begin
Matamena,
Lukuyu,
stand
side
by
side
With
Mainga
Ndiulu,
our
strength
and
our
pride
Let’
s
cast
our
vote,
let
the
future
ring
For
the
progress
that
his
hands
will
bring
For
Mainga
Ndiulu,

Building

our
people,

up
this
land
