One Zambia One Nation

Yeah, one love, one heart

Listen to the message from the start

From the banks of the Zambezi to the city lights

We see the brothers fighting, losing all their rights

Divided by the tongue, divided by the clan

But tell me, brother, don't you see the bigger plan?

We are the children of the copper and the soil

United by our strength and our honest toil

Don't let the shadows cloud the vision in your eyes

Truth is the bridge underneath the open skies

One Zambia, one nation, we standing tall

United we rise, divided we fall

Cast away the tribal fire, let it burn no more

We are walking together through the open door

One Zambia, one nation, hear the brothers call

One love for the people, standing through it all

Why look for the difference in a brother's face?

When we are running in the same human race

Our colors are many but the blood is the same

Why we playing such a wicked, losing game?

Let the music teach us how to harmonize

And open up the truth before our very eyes

No matter the region, no matter the land

We need to reach out with a steady hand

One Zambia, one nation, we standing tall

United we rise, divided we fall

Cast away the tribal fire, let it burn no more

We are walking together through the open door

One Zambia, one nation, hear the brothers call

One love for the people, standing through it all

Oh, rise up, put the bitterness aside

There is no need for a place to hide

Jah bless the unity, Jah bless the peace

Let the cycle of the hatred finally cease

Easy now, let the wisdom flow like rain

Healing the heart and washing away the pain

We look at the map and see one border line

A legacy of hope for your child and mine

Let the drums of unity beat inside your chest

Putting all this tribal talk to the final rest

Build up the future on a foundation of grace

Look at the beauty of this sacred place

One love, one people, moving as a flow

This is the only way for the nation to grow

One Zambia, one nation, we standing tall

United we rise, divided we fall

Cast away the tribal fire, let it burn no more

We are walking together through the open door

One Zambia, one nation, hear the brothers call

One love for the people, standing through it all

Yeah, one Zambia, one nation

Rise up, let the peace remain

Jah bless the land, yeah

One love, forevermore

One nation, one love.
