[male
vocals] (
Hallelujah,
glory
to
the
name)
Before
the
dawn,
we
rise
to
find
our
light (
Hallelujah,
glory
to
the
name)
Before
the
dawn,
we
rise
to
find
our
light
For
many
years
we
carried
heavy
stones
A
silence
deep
within
our
weary
bones
The
stories
whispered
but
were
never
owned
In
shadows
where
the
seeds
of
doubt
were
sown
Across
the
valleys
where
the
cattle
bells
would
ring
We
felt
the
spirit
but
we
could
not
sing
The
silence
felt
like
winter,
cold
and
long
But
now
it’
s
time
to
find
our
morning
song
Walila
Mutonga,
let
your
voice
arise
Lift
up
your
spirit
to
the
open
skies
No
longer
hidden,
no
longer
cast
aside
With
grace
and
power,
open
up
your
eyes
Yes
Lord,
we
rise,
yes
Lord,
we
stand
From
every
valley,
across
the
promised
land
They
looked
upon
our
tongue
with
cold
disdain
They
tried
to
bind
us
with
a
heavy
chain
But
deep
within
the
soul
a
fire
burned
For
every
lesson
that
our
fathers
learned
Chitonga
heritage,
a
treasure
in
the
light
It’
s
time
to
step
out
from
the
darkest
night
No
more
the
ridicule,
no
more
the
shame
We’
re
singing
glory
to
His
holy
name
Walila
Mutonga,
let
your
voice
arise
Lift
up
your
spirit
to
the
open
skies
No
longer
hidden,
no
longer
cast
aside
With
grace
and
power,
open
up
your
eyes
Yes
Lord,
we
rise,
yes
Lord,
we
stand
From
every
valley,
across
the
promised
land
Though
we
were
tested,
though
we
were
low
His
mercy
waters
let
the
spirit
grow
From
every
village,
from
the
mountain
peak
We
bring
the
glory
that
the
humble
seek (
Praise
Him,
praise
Him!)
The
stone
is
rolled
away,
the
morning
breaks
It’
s
for
the
future
that
the
spirit
wakes
Walila
Mutonga,
let
the
rafters
ring
Of
all
the
victories
that
the
heavens
bring
We
speak
our
truth,
we
walk
in
righteous
grace
Reflecting
hope
upon
every
face
Thank
You
Jesus
for
the
strength
we
found
To
stand
together
on
this
holy
ground
Walila
Mutonga,
let
your
voice
arise
Lift
up
your
spirit
to
the
open
skies
No
longer
hidden,
no
longer
cast
aside
With
grace
and
power,
open
up
your
eyes
Yes
Lord,
we
rise,
yes
Lord,
we
stand
From
every
valley,
across
the
promised
land
Walila
Mutonga,
stand
tall
and
be
free
Glory
to
the
One
who
set
us
free (
Amen,
amen)
Before
the
dawn,
we
rise. (
Amen,
amen)
Before
the
dawn,
we
rise. (
Thank
You
Jesus,
yes
Lord)
