Lyrics

[male

vocals] (

Soft,

rhythmic

guitar

picking

layered

with

a

steady

Kompa

bassline)

Yeah,

Luwi

Jai

White

A

decision

made

in

the

quiet,

in

the

light

It’

s

time

to

move

Listen

I

look

at

the

horizon

and

I

see

a

brand

new

way

I’

m

closing

every

door

where

the

shadows

used

to

stay

It

isn't

that

I

worship

silver

or

the

gold

It

isn't

that

I

worship

silver

or

the

gold

But

I

refuse

the

story

that

the

lack

has

often

told

I

understand

the

weight

of

every

hungry

night

I’

m

standing

in

the

power

of

my

God-given

right

I

refuse

poverty,

it

won’

t

be

my

name

I’

m

stepping

out

of

silence,

I’

m

stepping

out

of

shame

I

refuse,

I

refuse

to

be

broken

by

the

need

I’

m

planting

in

the

soil,

I’

m

expecting

a

new

seed

It’

s

a

responsibility,

not

just

a

passing

dream

To

rise

above

the

struggle,

to

swim

against

the

stream

Oh,

prosperity

is

life,

it’

s

the

work

of

my

own

hands

I’

m

building

up

my

future,

I’

m

taking

back

my

lands

In

Zambia,

I

see

the

faces

longing

for

the

day

Where

school

fees

and

the

bills

don't

get

in

the

way

Medical

needs,

the

food,

the

help

I

want

to

give

It

takes

resources,

Lord,

for

the

way

we

want

to

live

I

don’

t

normalize

the

suffering,

I

don’

t

normalize

the

pain

I

know

the

Creator

gives

the

sun

and

sends

the

rain

He

gave

me

the

ability

to

build

and

to

create

I’

m

walking

through

the

door,

I’

m

stepping

through

the

gate

I

refuse,

I

refuse

to

be

broken

by

the

need

I’

m

planting

in

the

soil,

I’

m

expecting

a

new

seed

It’

s

a

responsibility,

not

just

a

passing

dream

To

rise

above

the

struggle,

to

swim

against

the

stream

Oh,

prosperity

is

life,

it’

s

the

work

of

my

own

hands

I’

m

building

up

my

future,

I’

m

taking

back

my

lands

It’

s

not

for

me

alone,

it’

s

for

those

I

leave

behind

A

legacy

of

progress,

a

peaceful

state

of

mind

I’

m

working

with

the

purpose

that

is

burning

in

my

soul

I’

m

reaching

for

the

finish,

I’

m

reaching

for

the

goal (

Gouyad

guitar

solo

swells,

steady

pulse)

So

let

the

naysayers

talk,

I

keep

my

eyes

on

the

goal

So

let

the

naysayers

talk,

I

keep

my

eyes

on

the

goal

This

isn't

about

greed,

it’

s

about

a

healthy

soul

I

provide

for

my

family,

I

build

up

my

domain

Breaking

every

cycle,

breaking

every

heavy

chain

God

didn't

call

me

here

to

stay

inside

the

dust

In

His

wisdom

and

His

power

is

the

place

I

put

my

trust

I

refuse,

I

refuse

to

be

broken

by

the

need

I’

m

planting

in

the

soil,

I’

m

expecting

a

new

seed

It’

s

a

responsibility,

not

just

a

passing

dream

To

rise

above

the

struggle,

to

swim

against

the

stream

Oh,

prosperity

is

life,

it’

s

the

work

of

my

own

hands

I’

m

building

up

my

future,

I’

m

taking

back

my

lands

I

refuse

it,

I

refuse

it

Moving

forward,

rising

higher

Luwi

Jai

White

It’

s

a

responsibility

Grace

and

work,

hand

in

hand

Yeah,

we

rise (

Music

fades

with

a

rhythmic

percussion

pulse)
