[male vocals] Lyrics: (

Heavy

rain

sounds,

soft

piano

notes)

Yoh

ayyy ………………

It’

s

Caliboy (

Soft

piano

chords

fading

in)

Yeah.

Can

you

hear

me?

Is

anybody

listening

anymore?

Or

have

we

turned

the

volume

down

on

truth?

Zambia,

my

home,

my

soil...

We

are

weeping.

The

sun

rises

over

the

copper

hills,

but

the

light

feels

cold

today

I

see

the

anger

and

hatred

in

the

streets,

I

see

the

brothers

lead

astray

There’

s

wickedness

walking

in

tailored

suits,

hiding

behind

the

gate

And

the

ones

who

spoke

for

the

weak,

well,

they’

ve

learned

how

to

negotiate

The “

one

Zambia

one

nation

motto,

has

lost

its

meaning”,

eeish

Silence

is

the

new

anthem,

mmh

the

pulpits

are

turning

thin

They

trade

the

fire

of

the

spirit

for

the

comfort

of

the

sin

I

look

at

the

pulpit,

where

the

fire

used

to

burn

so

bright

Men

who

stood

for

truth

are

now

shadows

in

the

night

They

trade

their

crowns

for

comfort,

silence

in

their

holy

halls

While

the

citizens

cry

for

mercy,

and

the

darkness

slowly

crawls

I

look

at

the

flag,

I

look

at

the

dust,

I

look

at

the

tears

on

the

floor

And

I’

m

asking

the

questions

that

I

couldn’

t

ask

before.

Dear

God,

are

you

still

in

Zambia,

or

have

you

packed

your

bags

and

left

us

here?

Are

you

hiding

from

us

in

the

clouds,

or

is

the

distance

just

our

own

deepest

fear?

If

you’

re

still

here,

reach

down,

touch

the

soil

and

heal

this

broken

land

Pour

out

your

love

like

the

rain,

mmh

put

the

peace

back

in

our

hands

Let

forgiveness

be

the

bread,

let

unity

be

the

wine

we

share

Oh

God,

I

pray

thee,

are

you

still

in

Zambia,

are

you

still

there?

Mmh

We

really

need

you

Lord,

for

we

just

can’

t

continue

down

this

destructive

path,

please

Lord

We

forgot

how

to

love

our

neighbor,

we

chose

the

silver

and

the

gold

The

stories

of

the

fathers,

the

heritage,

mmh

it’

s

all

been

sold

Even

the

prophets

who

thundered,

now

they

whisper

in

the

dark

They

lost

the

vision,

they

lost

the

fuel,

they

lost

the

holy

spark

There’

s

injustice

in

the

courtrooms,

there’

s

bitterness

in

the

heart

We’

re

tearing

down

the

bridge

before

we

even

learn

the

art

of

being

one

Where

is

the

tolerance

we

preached

in

years

gone

by?

I’

m

crying

out

in

secret,

on

my

knees

upon

the

floor

Asking

for

the

keys

to

unlock

every

bolted

door

One

people,

one

nation,

mmh

beneath

a

sky

that’

s

turning

gray

I’

m

on

my

knees,

I’

m

begging,

I

don’

t

know

what

else

to

say.

Dear

God,

are

you

still

in

Zambia,

or

have

you

packed

your

bags

and

left

us

here?

Are

you

hiding

from

us

in

the

clouds,

or

is

the

distance

just

our

own

deepest

fear?

If

you’

re

still

here,

reach

down,

touch

the

soil

and

heal

this

broken

land

Pour

out

your

love

like

the

rain,

mmh

put

the

peace

back

in

our

hands

Let

forgiveness

be

the

bread,

let

unity

be

the

wine

we

share

Oh

God,

I

pray

thee,

are

you

still

in

Zambia,

are

you

still

there?

Mmh

We

really

need

you

Lord,

for

we

just

can’

t

continue

down

this

destructive

path,

please

Lord

But

if

you

left

us…

because

we

turned

our

backs

on

your

grace

If

you

left

us…

because

we

lost

the

mercy

in

this

place

But

if

you

left

us…

because

we

have

embraced

sin

and

wickedness

But

if

you

left

us…

because

we

have

turned

to

other

gods

Then

forgive

us,

Father,

we

come

to

you

in

broken,

honest

repentance

Like

the

word

says,

if

my

people

who

are

called

by

my

name,

will

humble

themselves

and

pray

and

seek

my

face

and

turn

from

their

wicked

ways,

then

I

will

hear

from

heaven,

and

I

will

forgive

their

sin

and

will

heal

their

land.

Oh

Lord,

we

are

your

people,

called

by

your

name,

seeking

your

face

once

more

Open

the

heavens,

let

the

spirit

heal

the

wounds

that

were

raw.

Bring

the

tolerance

back

to

this

land,

let

the

tribal

lines

dissolve,

Give

us

the

wisdom,

Lord,

the

mysteries

of

the

heart

to

solve

I

want

to

see

my

brothers

smiling

without

a

hidden

motive

deep

inside

Let

the

truth

be

our

compass,

let

the

honesty

be

our

only

guide

We

are

tired

of

the

sorrow,

we

are

tired

of

the

pain

We

are

looking

for

the

harvest,

we

are

praying

for

the

rain

Change

our

hearts,

restore

the

peace,

make

us

one

people

again.

Dear

God,

are

you

still

in

Zambia,

or

have

you

packed

your

bags

and

left

us

here?

Are

you

hiding

from

us

in

the

clouds,

or

is

the

distance

just

our

own

deepest

fear?

If

you’

re

still

here,

reach

down,

touch

the

soil

and

heal

this

broken

land

Pour

out

your

love

like

the

rain,

mmh

put

the

peace

back

in

our

hands

Let

forgiveness

be

the

bread,

and

let

unity

be

the

wine

we

share

Oh

God,

I

pray

thee,

are

you

still

in

Zambia,

are

you

still

there?

Mmh

We

really

need

you

Lord,

for

we

just

can’

t

continue

down

this

destructive

path,

please

Lord

Are

you

still

here?

Or

did

we

lose

you

in

the

noise?

Lord,

have

mercy

on

Zambia.

Have

mercy

on

us

all.

Don’

t

leave

us,

Lord.

Oh

please,

show

us

mercy

and

heal

our

land. (
