I
compose
this
song
with
a
grateful
heart,
To
celebrate
conservation,
community
engagement,
And
the
beautiful
connection
between
livelihoods
and
landscapes.
In
Chifunda
land,
our
story
has
changed
Through
conservation,
new
hope
has
been
gained
The
forests
and
wildlife
that
we
used
to
see
Are
now
bringing
opportunities
for
you
and
for
me
From
the
river
banks
to
the
deep
of
the
glade
We
stand
together,
look
at
the
progress
we
made
Oh,
Chifunda,
see
how
the
landscape
thrives
Conservation
and
people,
linked
in
our
lives
With
the
NLCP,
the
future
is
bright
We’
re
walking
together,
stepping
into
the
light
Yeah,
our
land,
our
life,
we
preserve
it
with
pride
With
the
FZS
right
here
by
our
side
We
learned
that
the
wild
is
a
gift
from
above
To
protect
the
terrain
with
passion
and
love
No
more
the
struggle,
we’
re
building
a
way
For
the
children
to
wake
to
a
much
better
day
Sustainable
pathways,
we’
re
carving
the
path
Healing
the
earth
from
the
aftermath
Oh,
Chifunda,
see
how
the
landscape
thrives
Conservation
and
people,
linked
in
our
lives
With
the
NLCP,
the
future
is
bright
We’
re
walking
together,
stepping
into
the
light
Yeah,
our
land,
our
life,
we
preserve
it
with
pride
With
the
FZS
right
here
by
our
side
It’
s
a
rhythm
of
nature,
a
heartbeat
so
true
It’
s
a
rhythm
of
nature,
a
heartbeat
so
true
For
the
people
of
Zambia,
for
me
and
for
you
Hand
in
hand,
we
protect
what
we
hold
Stories
of
courage,
brave
and
so
bold
Chifunda
rising,
we
move
as
one
Conservation

is
never
quite
done
Natotela
for
the
future

see
Chifunda,
our
pride,
eternally
free
Yeah,

rise
Conservation
