Yeah, oh, Jah bless Zambia
Rise up, HH, listen to the streets now, easy now
You brought the free education for the youth
Recruited teachers and nurses, that's the truth
With CDF you tried to share the land's gold
But on the dusty streets, a different story's told
Debt is structured but the pockets still are dry
No rain in the sky, we watch the crops die
Oh Hakainde Hichilema, the scales are in the air
The cost of living rising, is anybody there?
We see the new dawn rising, we feel the heavy load
HH, we walking on a long, hard road
One love, we need the light to shine
No power in the lines, the barbershops are cold
The IMF austerity has taken its toll
Mealie meal is high, the youth are waiting still
For the promise of the jobs to climb up the hill
We want the freedom of the speech we fought to gain
Balance out the progress, heal the people's pain
Oh Hakainde Hichilema, the scales are in the air
The cost of living rising, is anybody there?
We see the new dawn rising, we feel the heavy load
HH, we walking on a long, hard road
One love, we need the light to shine
Rise up Zambia, yeah
Heal the land now
HH, the people are waiting
One love, easy now
