Oh,
the
wind
blows
cold
across
the
plains
today
We
remember
the
one
who
showed
us
the
way
Rest
well,
Mwanawasa
Rest
well,
our
leader
You
stood
in
the
gap
when
the
shadows
were
long
You
taught
us
that
unity
could
make
us
strong
In
a
short
time,
you
turned
the
ship
around
With
your
feet
firmly
planted
on
this
sacred
ground
From
the
copper
mines
to
the
city
street
You
brought
a
vision
that
made
our
lives
complete
Corruption
trembled
when
you
walked
in
the
room
You
were
the
sunlight
that
chased
away
the
gloom
Oh,
Mwanawasa,
you
live
in
every
heart
Even
though
you've
gone
and
we're
miles
apart
You
were
our
compass,
our
strength,
and
our
pride
With
the
soul
of
the
nation
right
by
your
side
We
remember
the
peace,
we
remember
the
grace
You
hold
a
top-tier,
one-of-a-kind
place
Like
Mandela’
s
fire,
your
memory
will
burn
For
the
lessons
you
gave,
and
the
tables
you
turned
Inflation
fell
under
your
watchful
eye
Foreign
investment
reached
up
to
the
sky
You
opened
the
doors,
you
built
the
regional
bond
Looking
toward
the
future
and
far
beyond
When
the
people
cried,
you
were
there
to
hear
You
brushed
away
the
dust
and
you
silenced
the
fear
You
lived
for
the
Zambian,
the
poor
and
the
grand
A
true
patriot
standing
up
for
the
land
Oh,
Mwanawasa,
you
live
in
every
heart
Even
though
you've
gone
and
we're
miles
apart
You
were
our
compass,
our
strength,
and
our
pride
With
the
soul
of
the
nation
right
by
your
side
We
remember
the
peace,
we
remember
the
grace
You
hold
a
top-tier,
one-of-a-kind
place
Like
Mandela’
s
fire,
your
memory
will
burn
For
the
lessons
you
gave,
and
the
tables
you
turned
Generations
will
rise
and
speak
your
name
They
will
kindle
the
light
of
your
eternal
flame
It
wasn't
just
power,
it
wasn't
just
gold
It
was
the
story
of
honor
that
you
bravely
told
We
thank
you
for
service,
we
thank
you
for
light
You
guided
us
safely
through
the
dark
of
the
night
Oh,
Mwanawasa,
you
live
in
every
heart
Even
though
you've
gone
and
we're
miles
apart
You
were
our
compass,
our
strength,
and
our
pride
With
the
soul
of
the
nation
right
by
your
side
We
remember
the
peace,
we
remember
the
grace
You
hold
a

one-of-a-kind
place
Like

s
fire,
your
memory
will
burn
For

you
gave,
and
the

Rest
in
power,
our
leader
Rest
in
peace,
our
guide
Zambia
remembers
you
Zambia
will
always
love
you (
