(Choir harmonies building)
Yeah, we rise together
From the Copperbelt to the world
Family, yeah, this is for you
Let's go
Early morning sun rising on the street
We gather 'round, feeling the steady beat
Through the trials that we face every day
It is the love in this house that leads the way
Brothers and sisters standing so tall
We answer when we hear the Father's call
Through the hunger and the joy and the pain
We are walking together in the pouring rain
Oh, family is a blessing, a gift from above
Bound by the spirit and tied by the love
We rise with the morning, we shine like the light
Everything is better when we keep it tight
Yes, family is a blessing, the rock that we share
Chukwu is with us, He’s showing His care
Look at the table, the nshima is served
This is the grace that we never deserved
From the youngest one to the elders so wise
I see the hope reflecting in their eyes
We talk about the future, we talk about the dream
We are the engine, we are the team
When the world gets heavy and the clouds turn gray
My family is the one that says 'it's okay'
Oh, family is a blessing, a gift from above
Bound by the spirit and tied by the love
We rise with the morning, we shine like the light
Everything is better when we keep it tight
Yes, family is a blessing, the rock that we share
Chukwu is with us, He’s showing His care
(Slower, soulful build)
No weapon formed shall prosper, you see
Because of the faith in this family
We pray for the journey, we pray for the soul
Making us better, making us whole
(Building up, drums kicking in)
Yeah, we keep on rising!
So hold on to your kin, hold on to the kin
Let the joy of the Lord be the place that we begin
From Lusaka town to the ends of the land
We walk together, holding His hand
No division here, only the peace
May the favor of the Lord never cease
Oh, family is a blessing, a gift from above
Bound by the spirit and tied by the love
We rise with the morning, we shine like the light
Everything is better when we keep it tight
Yes, family is a blessing, the rock that we share
Chukwu is with us, He’s showing His care
Family, we are blessed (Hallelujah!)
Keep holding on (Praise God!)
From the heart of the home
To the glory of the King
Family forever, yeah
(Glory! Amen!)
