(Jah bless)
Rise up, my people, rise up as one.
(One love)
From Livingstone down to Kasama's peak,
Hear the message of peace that we speak.
Tonga, Bemba, Lozi, Ngoni, and Chewa,
We are one people, now and forever.
On the thirteenth of August, let peace lead the way,
No violence, no hatred, just a brighter day.
One Zambia, One Nation, One People, stand tall,
This beautiful land is a home for us all.
We vote for the future, we walk hand in hand,
Peace and unity across the whole land.
(Yeah, one love)
The color of your chitenge, the words that you say,
Cannot tear us apart, we are brothers today.
Our hands were created to build, not destroy,
To fill every village with hope and with joy.
When the morning comes, and the votes are all cast,
We are still neighbors, united at last.
One Zambia, One Nation, One People, stand tall,
This beautiful land is a home for us all.
We vote for the future, we walk hand in hand,
Peace and unity across the whole land.
Zambia is bigger than any election, yeah.
God bless our home, under one direction.
One Zambia, One Nation.
(Easy now)
