Yeah, Marvin Mwansa on the beat
One love, rise up, Africa
Oh, the land of my birth, where the spirit flows deep
Zambia, the treasure that the ancestors keep
In the southern heart, where the history code is clear
The wisdom of our messiah, conquering every fear
Born and bred in the soil where the truth is told
Generations passing stories, more precious than gold
Oh, we are not the way the world has painted the scene
We are heroes of grace, living in the light of the unseen
Africa, you are always in my heart
Africa, we’ll never be apart
Zambia, my motherland, standing tall and free
With the belt of spirituality for all to see
One day and forever, we shall conquer the tide
With the spirit of our history as our internal guide
Marvin Mwansa, feel the rhythm as we build
With the vision of the future, our hearts are fulfilled
Rich culture and values, they are the foundation stone
An African royal gene, deep in the marrow and bone
So come back home, let the energy rise again
We are weaving the memories, washing away the pain
We pile on the energy, keep the flame burning bright
For the continent is moving, walking out of the night
Africa, you are always in my heart
Africa, we’ll never be apart
Zambia, my motherland, standing tall and free
With the belt of spirituality for all to see
One day and forever, we shall conquer the tide
With the spirit of our history as our internal guide
Jah bless the ones who remember where they stand
The power of the heritage, the touch of the land
No matter what they say, we keep building the dream
Rolling like the river in a crystal clear stream
Yeah, easy now
Oh, the history is calling, it’s a song in the wind
Where the spirit is noble and the light is pinned
We are the architects of our own destiny
Building up the future for the world to see
Marvin Mwansa, the heartbeat is loud and true
Africa, we’re rising, rising up with you
Africa, you are always in my heart
Africa, we’ll never be apart
Zambia, my motherland, standing tall and free
With the belt of spirituality for all to see
One day and forever, we shall conquer the tide
With the spirit of our history as our internal guide
Africa, oh, you are in my heart
Forever on the move, yeah
Jah bless the land, Zambia, my home
One love, one soul, always
Rise up, Africa, rise up
