pain
Remember

broken
roads
and
bridges
in
the
sun
But

how
the
morning
breaks,
the
victory
is
won
God

the
nation

Look

they're
green
again,
the
harvest

to
grow
We
see
the
light
in
every
eye,
a
steady,
honest
glow
With
wisdom
in
the
council
room
and
strength
within
the
heart
We’

building
up
a
legacy,
a
brand
new
place
to
start
No
more
wahala,
no
more
fear,

one
today
With
Hakainde
