The Dawn Will Come"
Verse 1
When the road is long and lonely,
And the night won't let you see,
Every step you keep on taking
Is a step to where you'll be.
Though the storms may try to break you,
Though your tears may freely run,
Hold on to the light inside you,
A new day has begun.
Pre-Chorus
Don't give up when shadows fall,
You are stronger than them all.
Chorus
Lift your eyes, the dawn will come,
After darkness shines the sun.
Usataye mtima, mzanga wanga,
(Don't lose heart, my friend)
Mawa pali chiyembekezo.
(Tomorrow there is hope)
Lift your voice and sing along,
You were made to carry on.
Verse 2
Every scar can tell a story,
Every wound can learn to heal,
There is power in believing
That tomorrow can be real.
When your heart feels tired and broken,
And your strength is almost gone,
Listen closely to the whisper:
"Keep moving on, keep moving on."
Pre-Chorus
Through the rain and through the pain,
Joy will find your heart again.
Chorus
Lift your eyes, the dawn will come,
After darkness shines the sun.
Usataye mtima, mzanga wanga,
Mawa pali chiyembekezo.
Lift your voice and sing along,
You were made to carry on.
Bridge
Mulungu ali nawe nthawi zonse,
(God is with you at all times)
Ngakhale njira ikhale yovuta.
(Even when the path is difficult)
Pitiriza kuyenda, usaope,
(Keep walking, do not be afraid)
Tsogolo lako lidzawala.
(Your future will shine)
Final Chorus
Lift your eyes, the dawn will come,
After darkness shines the sun.
Usataye mtima, mzanga wanga,
Mawa pali chiyembekezo.
Hope is rising, hearts are strong,
Together we will carry on.
Mawa pali chiyembekezo,
Tomorrow there is hope.
