Upbeat

Yeah,
today
we
celebrate
The
river
flows,
the
love
grows
Listen
to
the
sound
of
the
valley
Yeah,
feel
the
heartbeat
of
our
people
Early
morning
sun
is
rising
on
the
plain
Gold
light
dancing
through
the
stalks
of
the
grain
I
see
you
walking
down
the
path
so
slow
With
a
grace
that
only
the
river
spirits
know
We
gather
all
the
elders
in
the
shade
today
To
watch
the
beautiful
bride
on
her
way
The
drums
are
calling
out
across
the
Zambezi
side
There
is
no
secret
that
our
hearts
can
hide
Oh,
celebration
under
the
wide
blue
sky
See
the
love
reflecting
in
your
happy
eye
This
is
the
bond
that
will
never
ever
fade
Built
on
the
promise
that
we
have
made
Join
the
rhythm,
join
the
Mbunga
beat
Life
is
beautiful,
it
is
finally
complete
Oh,
celebration
under
the
wide
blue
sky
Love
is
the
wings
that
make
our
spirits
fly
Your
family
traveled
from
the
northern
trees
To
dance
together
in
the
warm
summer
breeze
The
plates
are
full
and
the
music
is
loud
Look
at
how
you
stand
out
in
the
happy
crowd
We
wear
the
colors
of
the
earth
and
the
deep
Promises
of
loyalty
that
we
mean
to
keep
No
more
sorrow,
no
more
lonely
nights
Everything
is
turning
to
the
bright,
bright
lights
Oh,
celebration
under
the
wide
blue
sky
See
the
love
reflecting
in
your
happy
eye
This
is
the
bond
that
will
never
ever
fade
Built
on
the
promise
that
we
have
made
Join
the
rhythm,
join
the
Mbunga
beat
Life
is
beautiful,
it
is
finally
complete
Oh,
celebration
under
the
wide
blue
sky
Love
is
the
wings
that
make
our
spirits
fly
From
the
banks
of
the
river
to
the
village
square
There
is
a
special
magic
hanging
in
the
air
We
stomp
our
feet,
we
raise
our
voices
high
Underneath
the
vast
and
endless
Western
sky
Blessings
fall
like
rain
on
the
dry,
dry
ground
In
this
sacred
place
where
true
love
is
found
Oh,
celebration
under
the
wide
blue
sky
See
the
love
reflecting
in
your
happy
eye
This
is
the
bond
that
will
never
ever
fade
Built
on
the
promise
that
we
have
made
Join
the
rhythm,
join
the
Mbunga
beat
Life
is
beautiful,
it
is
finally
complete
Oh,
celebration
under
the
wide
blue
sky
Love
is
the
wings
that
make
our
spirits
fly
So
hold
my
hand
while
the
shadows
grow
long
Listen
to
the
melody,
listen
to
the
song
Our
life
is
beginning,
the
road
is
wide
open
Every
single
word
of
our
love
has
been
spoken
Keep
the
tradition,
pass
it
to
the
young
Songs
of
the
valley,
forever
to
be
sung
We
are
the
people
of
the
light
and
the
gold
This
is
a
story
that
will
never
grow
old
Oh,
celebration
under
the
wide
blue
sky
See
the
love
reflecting
in
your
happy
eye
This
is
the

Always
