(Ayy, yoh)
Mwaiseni to the future
We are the fire, we are the light
Listen, mukwai
I see the hunger in your eyes today
The sun is rising, chasing clouds away
You got that power deep inside your soul
Don't let the shadows take control
From Lusaka streets to the Copperbelt land
Success is waiting, reach out your hand
You don't need magic, just believe in you
Everything you dream, you can surely do
Rise up, youths, it is our time to shine
Leave the doubt behind, leave the worry fine
We are the leaders, we are the pride
With the strength of God, we keep our heads high
Rise up, rise up, yeah we gonna climb
Building the nation, one step at a time
Forget the boza, forget the fear
The road to greatness is crystal clear
Work with your hands, sharpen your mind
Leave all the bitterness far behind
They say we're hopeless, they say we're weak
But we are the answers that they seek
Keep on pushing, don't you ever stop
From the bottom, yeah we taking the top
Rise up, youths, it is our time to shine
Leave the doubt behind, leave the worry fine
We are the leaders, we are the pride
With the strength of God, we keep our heads high
Rise up, rise up, yeah we gonna climb
Building the nation, one step at a time
Oh, let the rhythm ignite your spirit
Can you feel it? Yeah, you better hear it
We are the strength of the nation today
Walking in light, we find a new way
(Natotela for the journey, we keep moving)
Rise up, youths, it is our time to shine
Leave the doubt behind, leave the worry fine
We are the leaders, we are the pride
With the strength of God, we keep our heads high
Rise up, rise up, yeah we gonna climb
Building the nation, one step at a time
Yeah, we moving up
Nothing can stop us now
Keep the fire burning
(Ayy, yoh, we rise)
