Listen to the story of the man with the vision
Luwingu to Chilubi, we rise together
Phiri Magogo, the leader we trust
Early in the morning the sun begins to rise
Over the green fields where the harvest lies
In Luwingu lands, the people start to sing
Of the seeds of hope that our brother brings
He walks the talk, he’s there for the plough
Changing the life for the better right now
From the dry ground, he brings us the rain
Taking away all the stress and the pain
Phiri Magogo, you lead the way
Building the future for us every day
In Lupososhi, the fields are so bright
Under your hand, we reach for the light
Oh Phiri Magogo, champion of all
You lift us up whenever we fall
Chilubi is growing, the nets are all full
Breaking the cycle, we’re changing the rule
With every farmer, you stand side by side
With wisdom and grace and nothing to hide
You provide the tools, you provide the strength
You go for the people to such a great length
No more hunger, the storehouses full
That is the power of the vision you pull
Phiri Magogo, you lead the way
Building the future for us every day
In Lupososhi, the fields are so bright
Under your hand, we reach for the light
Oh Phiri Magogo, champion of all
You lift us up whenever we fall
From the North to the South, let the message ring
To the people of Zambia, let us all sing
Of the work that is done, of the battles we won
Phiri Magogo, you’re second to none!
Phiri Magogo, you lead the way
Building the future for us every day
In Lupososhi, the fields are so bright
Under your hand, we reach for the light
Oh Phiri Magogo, champion of all
You lift us up whenever we fall
We see the progress, we see the glow
Phiri Magogo, watch the harvest grow
Natotela, thank you for all you do
(Ayy, yoh!)
We rise with you, we rise with you.
