One Spirit Land

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

Sunrise painting green highlands gold

Shadows of the old mountain fading

Farmers seeds meeting mechanical steel

Fields stretching wider than our history

Green shoots breaking the dry ground

Building bridges where the river ran wide

Pre-Chorus

Hand in hand we walk

Step by heavy step upwards

Listen to the new song rising

Voices from the north to the south

Chorus

Land of the brave heart

Land of the ancient flame

Now we build our kingdom taller

United spirit leading our name

One blood under one deep sky

Land of the brave heart

Ethiopia is moving higher

Post-Chorus

Ah-oh-ay Ethiopia

Ah-oh-ay Ethiopia

Verse 2

Children staring through shining glass screens

Learning secrets of the far stars

Hills turning blue with the city lights

Every hammer strike is a heartbeat

Wisdom of the elders meets youth

Thriving in a garden of new dreams

Pre-Chorus

Hand in hand we walk

Step by heavy step upwards

Listen to the new song rising

Voices from the east to the west

Chorus

Land of the brave heart

Land of the ancient flame

Now we build our kingdom taller

United spirit leading our name

One blood under one deep sky

Land of the brave heart

Ethiopia is moving higher

Bridge

Abay flowing with modern power

Walls of silk and tech bone

Feeding the hunger of many

Peace like a mantle of gold

Yesterday gave us the iron

Tomorrow we carve it into life

Chorus

Land of the brave heart

Land of the ancient flame

Now we build our kingdom taller

United spirit leading our name

One blood under one deep sky

Land of the brave heart

Ethiopia is moving higher

Chorus

Land of the brave heart

Land of the ancient flame

Now we build our kingdom taller

United spirit leading our name

One blood under one deep sky

Land of the brave heart

Ethiopia is moving higher

Post-Chorus

Ah-oh-ay Ethiopia

Ah-oh-ay Ethiopia

Ethiopia rising higher

Our time has come again
