Lyrics

[male

vocals] (

Intricate,

cascading

mbira

melodies

layered

with

warm,

sustained

synthesizer

pads) (

Steady,

rhythmic

pulsing)

We

walk

the

path

that

was

laid

by

the

hands

of

those

before

The

journey

is

long

and

the

shadows

are

dancing

on

the

floor

We

never

studied

the

maps

or

the

ways

to

cross

the

deep

But

the

wisdom

of

the

elders

is

the

promise

that

we

keep

It

is

the

grace

of

the

heavens

and

the

spirits

in

the

air

That

brought

us

to

this

moment

with

a

soul

beyond

compare

Even

when

the

road

is

rugged

and

the

mountain

looks

so

high

We

find

the

strength

to

carry

on

beneath

the

open

sky

Oh,

the

grace

of

the

heavens

and

the

spirits

guide

our

way

From

the

rising

of

the

sun

until

the

closing

of

the

day

We

are

living,

we

are

breathing,

we

are

standing

tall

and

free

With

the

ancestors

beside

us,

a

legacy

for

all

to

see

Yes,

the

grace

of

the

heavens

and

the

spirits

guide

our

way

With

every

step

we

take,

we

find

the

light

to

bloom

and

stay

Families

gather

round

the

fire

as

the

stars

begin

to

glow

Stories

of

the

ancient

days

are

the

seeds

that

we

must

sow

We

didn't

go

to

school

for

this,

no

textbooks

on

the

shelf

But

we

learned

to

find

the

power

deep

inside

of

every

self

Life

is

moving,

flowing

like

the

river

to

the

sea

It

is

the

spirit

of

the

people,

it

is

our

true

identity

Though

we

face

the

trials

of

the

modern

world

so

cold

We

hold

the

precious

story

that

the

ages

have

foretold

Oh,

the

grace

of

the

heavens

and

the

spirits

guide

our

way

From

the

rising

of

the

sun

until

the

closing

of

the

day

We

are

living,

we

are

breathing,

we

are

standing

tall

and

free

With

the

ancestors

beside

us,

a

legacy

for

all

to

see

Yes,

the

grace

of

the

heavens

and

the

spirits

guide

our

way

With

every

step

we

take,

we

find

the

light

to

bloom

and

stay (

Instrumentation

swells,

mbira

keys

becoming

sharper

and

more

rapid)

Keep

the

faith,

Tinashe,

hear

the

rhythm

in

your

heart

We

are

building

up

the

future,

we

are

playing

out

our

part

It

is

written

in

the

silence,

it

is

shouted

in

the

wind

Where

the

human

journey

ends,

the

spirit

world

begins

We

rise!

We

rise!

Like

the

mountain

to

the

clouds!

We

rise!

We

rise!

With

our

courage

spoken

loud!

Oh,

the

grace

of

the

heavens

and

the

spirits

guide

our

way

Oh,

the

grace

of

the

heavens

and

the

spirits

guide

our

way

From

the

rising

of

the

sun

until

the

closing

of

the

day

We

are

living,

we

are

breathing,

we

are

standing

tall

and

free

With

the

ancestors

beside

us,

a

legacy

for

all

to

see

Yes,

the

grace

of

the

heavens

and

the

spirits

guide

our

way

With

every

step

we

take,

we

find

the

light

to

bloom

and

stay (

Mbira

melodies

fade

slowly

into

sustained

keyboard

chords)

It

is

grace...

It

is

the

ancestors...

Guided

by

the

light...

We

are

still

here. (

Final

resonant

mbira

pluck)
