Yoh, ayy
Lord, we need your peace
Chosen, listen close now...
I’ve been running in the dark, looking for the light
Nifuna mutendere in the middle of the night
Uchimo tried to hold me, tried to weigh me down
But I know with God, I will wear my crown
No more boza, no more lies in my way
Muli shani, Holy Spirit, come and stay
Chosen, God has given you peace oh (mutendere!)
No more uchimo, no more pain oh (natotela!)
We lift our hands and we sing "Mayo!"
From Lusaka to the world, we let it flow
Chosen, God has given you peace oh
Through the copperbelt, through the Lusaka streets
Ifwe we are moving to the heavenly beats
No weapon formed against you shall ever stand
Walking with the savior hand in hand
Natotela Baba for the grace today
All the heavy load has been washed away
Chosen, God has given you peace oh (mutendere!)
No more uchimo, no more pain oh (natotela!)
We lift our hands and we sing "Mayo!"
From Lusaka to the world, we let it flow
Chosen, God has given you peace oh
Yoh, ayy
Mutendere is here
Chosen, you are free
Natotela, amen!
