[male
vocals] (
Driving
guitar
arpeggio,
rapid-fire
percussion
buildup)
Yeah,
we
rise
from
the
dust
of
the
red
earth
From
the
roots
to
the
throne
Verny
Davan
Yenesha,
listen
Kaonde
waswa
mema
Let’
s
move!
The
sun
comes
up
on
Kabutwitwi’
s
red
soil
Where
the
morning
is
born
from
our
parents'
hard
toil
I
look
at
my
mother’
s
tired,
calloused
hands
Walking
the
dust
of
these
Kasempa
lands
They
call
me
the
firstborn,
the
head
of
the
line
With
a
path
full
of
shadows
where
sun
doesn't
shine
I
will
never
be
the
first
to
taste
luxury
or
gold
Before
the
stories
of
our
struggle
are
honestly
told
Oh,
the
crown
of
the
Kabutwitwi,
hear
the
beat
of
the
drum
We’
ve
walked
through
the
valley,
see
the
kingdom
has
come
Verny
Davan
Yenesha,
stand
tall
in
the
light
We’
re
turning
the
darkness
to
a
fire
so
bright
Kaonde
waswa
mema,
the
river
is
flowing
Our
legacy
growing,
the
spirit
is
glowing
I
remember
the
hunger,
the
cold
winter
night
When
we
fought
for
a
dream
with
all
of
our
might
Through
the
fires
of
hardship,
the
trials
of
fire
I
built
up
a
kingdom,
I
climbed
even
higher
The
weight
of
the
roots
is
the
fuel
for
the
dance
I’
m
taking
my
future,
I’
m
taking
my
chance
With
rhythm
in
veins
and
the
pride
in
my
chest
I’
m
the
firstborn
son,
putting
all
to
the
test
Oh,
the
crown
of
the
Kabutwitwi,
hear
the
beat
of
the
drum
We’
ve
walked
through
the
valley,
see
the
kingdom
has
come
Verny
Davan
Yenesha,
stand
tall
in
the
light
We’
re
turning
the
darkness
to
a
fire
so
bright
Kaonde
waswa
mema,
the
river
is
flowing
Our
legacy
growing,
the
spirit
is
glowing
Move
your
feet,
let
the
spirit
take
control
This
is
the
music
that
heals
up
the
soul
From
Kasempa’
s
heart
to
the
world
in
the
sun
The
victory’
s
ours,
look
at
what
we
have
done (
Guitar
solo,
ecstatic,
dancing
melody)
Yes,
we
rise!
We
rise!
Inherited
power,
the
weight
of
the
name
I’
m
lighting
the
torch,
I’
m
fueling
the
flame
No
longer
the
shadow,
I’
m
stepping
to
front
Bear
all
the
burdens
and
handle
the
brunt
Respect
to
the
lineage,
respect
to
the
blood
Rising
up
high
from
the
salt
and
the
mud
Verny
Davan
Yenesha,
the
leader
is
here
With
a
voice
that
is
loud
and
a
vision
so
clear
Oh,
the
crown
of
the
Kabutwitwi,
hear
the
beat
of
the
drum
We’
ve
walked
through
the
valley,
see
the
kingdom
has
come
Verny
Davan
Yenesha,
stand
tall
in
the
light
We’
re
turning
the
darkness
to
a
fire
so
bright
Kaonde
waswa

the
river
is

Our
legacy
growing,
the
spirit
is
glowing
Yeah,
Kaonde
waswa
mema!
The
crown
is
ours,
the
crown
is
ours!
Keep
on
moving,
keep
on
dancing
Kabutwitwi,
we
see
you! (
Fade
out
with
driving
percussion
and
final
guitar
flourish)
