Verse 3]*
This
victory
is
not
for
one
man
alone
It
belongs
to
the
grandmothers
grinding

To
the

learn
To
the
fishermen
casting
nets
and
yearning

Ambrose,

the

Connect

circulate
and

So
every

dream
And
grow
up
to
lead,
and
be
part
of
the

You

not
just
MPs,
you
are
fathers
and
brothers
You
carry
the
weight
of
our
sisters
and
mothers
So
lead
with
integrity,
lead
with
prayer
Because
God
is
watching,
and
the
people
are

Verse 4 -
Reflection]*
We
remember
the
campaigns,
the
meetings
at
night
The
walking
in
villages,
under
sun
and
moonlight
You
didn’
t
promise
miracles,
you
promised
work
And
that
is
why
today
the
people
didn’
t
shirk
They
came
out
in
numbers,
young
and
old
They
cast
their
vote
because
they
were
bold
They
chose
development
over
empty
talk
They
chose
leaders
who
will
walk
the
walk
So
now
the
work
begins,
the
real
test
It’
s
not
about
winning,
it’
s
about
doing
your
best
Kabompo
is
watching,
Zambia
is
watching
too
And
we
believe
that
God
will
see
you
through *[
Bridge 2 -
Prayerful]*
Tata
wa
kumpanda,
bless
these
two
men
Give
them
wisdom,
again
and
again
Protect
their
families,
protect
their
name
Let
them
serve
without
pride,
without
shame
Let
corruption
be
far,
let
greed
be
gone
Let
service
be
the
song
they
sing
from
dusk
to
dawn *
Congratulations
Honorable
Ambrose
Kufuma!* *
For
Kabompo
East,
you
are
the
answer!* *
Congratulations
Honorable
