Oh na na na, I and I Francis Chishimba
Got a story fi tell, bless up
White man came with Bible in him hand
Said him come as missionary to this African land
But behind the cross was chains and pain
Took my sisters and brothers, whip my parents in the marketplace rain
Promise we heaven while them steal our copper ground
Copperbelt riches shipped away, not a pound we found
Bribe our leaders with sweet European talk
Shameless people make my people walk the walk
Wake up now Zambian people, rise
Francis Chishimba calling, open your eyes
No more tricks, no more lies
We awakened now, hear the people's cries
Wake up now Zambian people, stand tall
Francis Chishimba say we ready fi the call
They colonize the mind before they take the land
Make we forget our power, our African command
But this time different, we see through the game
Francis Chishimba and the youth ignite the flame
Any oppressor come, we ready fi fight
Zambian copper belong to we, that's our right
No more sleeping while them thief our birthright
One love, one nation, we unite tonight
Wake up now Zambian people, rise
Francis Chishimba calling, open your eyes
No more tricks, no more lies
We awakened now, hear the people's cries
Wake up now Zambian people, stand tall
Francis Chishimba say we ready fi the call
Oh na na na, Zambia awake
Francis Chishimba, forward, no more fake
Bless up, one love
