[male

Ayy,
yoh)
From
the
dust
to
the
stars
Listen
to
the
story
In
the
quiet
lands
of
Chief
Mwanya,
where
the
roads
were
rough
And
the
nights
were
long,
the
struggle
was
tough
A
young
boy
walked
with
an
empty
stomach,
feeling
the
chill
But
somehow,
through
it
all,
he
kept
holding
on
still
Double
orphan,
with
no
one
to
lean
on,
just
the
sky
above
Raised
where
tomorrow
was
never
sure,
searching
for
love
Sometimes
a
whole
day
passed
without
a
single
meal
Yet
his
heart
kept
asking
for
more,
searching
for
a
sign
that’
s
real
The
world
saw
poverty,
but
heaven
saw
a
seed
The
world
saw
a
lonely
child,
but
God
saw
what
he'd
be
Yeah,
He
saw
the
king
waiting
inside
Oh,
Chalwe
Nyendwa,
keep
walking
on
From
the
dusty
roads
where
you
came
from
From
the
dusty
roads
where
you
came
from
Oh,
Chalwe
Nyendwa,
the
world
is
yours
now
From
the
ashes
and
the
dust,
look
at
you
now
He
didn't
have
a
father,
he
didn't
have
a
mother's
hand
But
he
built
a
legacy
across
this
Zambian
land
From
the
village
corners
to
the
heights
he
reached
today
He
cleared
the
thorns
and
the
rocks
out
of
his
own
way
Even
when
the
hunger
gnawed
and
the
nights
were
cold
He
kept
a
fire
in
his
soul
that
was
burning
bold
Oh,
Chalwe
Nyendwa,
keep
walking
on
From
the
dusty
roads
where
you
came
from
Oh,
Chalwe
Nyendwa,
the
world
is
yours
now
From
the
ashes
and
the
dust,
look
at
you
now
It’
s
a
story
of
grit,
it’
s
a
story
of
grace
A
testament
to
the
power
of
a
resilient
race
From
Chief
Mwanya
to
the
places
you
command
You're
the
hope
of
the
future,
you're
the
pride
of
the
land
Oh,
Chalwe
Nyendwa,
keep
walking
on
From
the
dusty
roads
where
you
came
from
Oh,
Chalwe
Nyendwa,
the
world
is
yours
now
From
the
ashes
and
the
dust,
look
at
you
now
Yeah,
keep
rising
From
the
dust
to
the
people
Chalwe
Nyendwa (
Ayy,
yoh,
we
rise)
