Drums

Oh,
hear
the
cry
of
the
land
From
the
Copperbelt
to
the
valley
floor
We
searching
for
the
heart
of
the
home
Zambia,
Zambia,
shine
your
light
I
walk
the
streets
and
I
look
at
the
sky
Asking
the
questions
with
a
tear
in
my
eye
Is
this
the
nation
where
we
used
to
run
free?
Or
have
we
forgotten
who
we’
re
supposed
to
be?
I
remember
the
stories
of
the
heroes
of
old
Kenneth
Kaunda
with
a
vision
so
bold
Nkumbula
and
Kapwepwe,
they
gave
up
their
lives
So
we
could
live
peaceful,
away
from
the
knives
They
sacrificed
time,
they
bled
for
the
day
To
break
every
chain
and
to
show
us
the
way
But
now
I
look
around
and
the
vision
is
blurred
And
the
truth
of
our
fathers
is
rarely
even
heard
Oh,
Mother
Zambia,
wake
up
from
the
sleep
The
promises
made
are
the
ones
we
must
keep
We
are
one
Zambia,
one
nation,
one
heart
Don’
t
let
the
greed
tear
the
spirit
apart
Oh,
Mother
Zambia,
find
your
roots
again
Bring
back
the
peace
that
was
planted
back
then
Let
love
be
the
anchor,
let
truth
be
the
shield
Until
all
the
wounds
of
our
country
are
healed
It’
s
like
an
animal
farm
where
some
are
more
equal
Just
another
scene
in
this
darkening
sequel
Why
do
we
hunger
for
power
and
control?
Selling
the
peace
for
the
price
of
a
soul
Brother
against
brother,
why
take
a
life?
For
a
seat
at
the
table,
for
a
bit
of
the
strife?
We
are
children
of
soil,
we
are
children
of
light
We
shouldn’
t
be
shadows
in
the
middle
of
the
night
It’
s
time
to
take
charge,
time
to
own
what
we
do
To
make
sure
the
dream
of
our
nation
is
true
Put
down
the
malice,
pick
up
the
grace
We
need
to
put
a
smile
back
on
every
face
Oh,
Mother
Zambia,
wake
up
from
the
sleep
The
promises
made
are
the
ones
we
must
keep
We
are
one
Zambia,
one
nation,
one
heart
Don’
t
let
the
greed
tear
the
spirit
apart
Oh,
Mother
Zambia,
find
your
roots
again
Bring
back
the
peace
that
was
planted
back
then
Let
love
be
the
anchor,
let
truth
be
the
shield
Until
all
the
wounds
of
our
country
are
healed
Can
we
rise?
Can
we
stand?
Can
we
build
it
together?
Through
the
storm,
through
the
wind,
through
the
harshest
of
weather
We
are
the
keepers
of
the
flame
that
they
lit
Don’
t
let
it
fade,
don’
t
let
it
quit
Shalom,
shalom
to
the
north
and
the
south
Let
kindness
be
rising
from
every
mouth
God
bless
this
nation,
God
bless
the
land
Give
us
the
wisdom
to
hold
out
a
hand
Oh,
Mother
Zambia,
wake
up
from
the
sleep
The
promises
made
are
the
ones
we
must
keep
We
are
one
Zambia,
one
nation,
one
heart
Don’
t
let
the
greed
tear
the
spirit
apart
Oh,
Mother
Zambia,
find
your
roots
again
Bring
back
the
peace
that
was
planted
back
then
Let
love
be
the
anchor,
let
truth
be
the
shield
Until
all
the
wounds
of
our
country
are
healed
One
Zambia,
One
Nation
From
the
Zambezi
to
the
city
lights
Take
responsibility
Keep
the
peace
Shalom,
Zambia,
Shalom (
