[Verse 1] From Monze East the voices rise Tifuna Bally opens our eyes Jacob speaks with fire in his chest Time to build, no time to rest Our children walk miles for a school Dirt roads crumble, that's not cool Clinics empty, no medicine there Brothers and sisters, do we even care? [Pre-Chorus] The drums are calling, can you hear the sound? Our people ready, feet on the ground From the valleys to the city lights Zambia rising, claiming our rights [Chorus] We need development in Zambia Roads and bridges, schools and hospitals We need development in Zambia From the copper mines to the waterfalls We need development in Zambia Lift our nation, hear the people call We need development in Zambia Together we stand, we rise, we won't fall [Verse 2] Tifuna Bally knows the struggle well Stories that our elders tell Jacob walks through villages at dawn Sees the hope that keeps us strong We got the talent, we got the heart Infrastructure's where we start Clean water flowing, power lines alive This is how our nation thrives [Pre-Chorus] The drums are calling, can you hear the sound? Our people ready, feet on the ground From the valleys to the city lights Zambia rising, claiming our rights [Chorus] We need development in Zambia Roads and bridges, schools and hospitals We need development in Zambia From the copper mines to the waterfalls We need development in Zambia Lift our nation, hear the people call We need development in Zambia Together we stand, we rise, we won't fall [Bridge] Monze East to Lusaka town We're not waiting, we're breaking ground Every hand that builds, every voice that sings This is our moment, these are our wings For the mothers, for the youth For justice, progress, and the truth [Chorus] We need development in Zambia Roads and bridges, schools and hospitals We need development in Zambia From the copper mines to the waterfalls We need development in Zambia Lift our nation, hear the people call We need development in Zambia Together we stand, we rise, we won't fall [Outro] Tifuna Bally, Jacob, hear our song Monze East, we've waited long The time is now, the future's bright Zambia rising into the light We need development, we need it now Zambia standing strong, we made a vow
