Lyrics
Title: The Eagle's Song (One Zambia, One Nation)
Tempo: Upbeat, joyful, and danceable (110 BPM)
Style: Afro-pop / Zamrock fusion
Intro
(Sound of a distant African Fish Eagle calling, followed by the bright, rhythmic plucking of a kalimba. Heavy, joyful ngoma drums kick in. A chorus of voices claps on the off-beat.)
Verse 1
The sun comes up o'er the Zambezi shore
The eagle wakes, we can't ignore
Green for the forests, red for the blood we gave
Black for the people, orange for the wealth we save
From the Copperbelt deep to the Luangwa plains
The spirit of freedom forever remains!
Chorus
Oh, One Zambia, One Nation!
Sing it loud for the celebration!
Sixty-two years of shining, we are one
From the Victoria Falls to the eastern sun!
Raise the flag, let the colors fly
Underneath the vast African sky!
Oh, One Zambia, One Nation!
(Crowd cheers: "Eeeh! Eeeh!")
Verse 2
Seventy-three tribes with a single voice
In the rhythm of the drums, we all rejoice
Bemba, Nyanja, Tonga, and Lozi too
Chewa, Kaonde, we are me and you!
We dance the Ngoma, we stomp the ground
In the land of the copper, our joy is found
Hand in hand, from the city to the village square
With the pride of our ancestors in the air!
Chorus
Oh, One Zambia, One Nation!
Sing it loud for the celebration!
Sixty-two years of shining, we are one
From the Victoria Falls to the eastern sun!
Raise the flag, let the colors fly
Underneath the vast African sky!
Oh, One Zambia, One Nation!
Bridge
(The beat slows down slightly, becoming more soulful and rhythmic. A smooth electric guitar plays a Zamrock-style riff.)
We remember the heroes who walked the long road
Who carried the heavy, the beautiful load
From the days of '64 when the chains broke away
To the children of tomorrow leading the way.
We look to the future, our vision is clear
With courage and unity, we conquer fear!
(Guitar & Kalimba Solo)
(A high-energy, danceable instrumental break. The drums drive the rhythm while the kalimba sparkles over the top. Dancers are imagined taking the center stage.)
Verse 3
So bring out the nshima, let the feasting start
With a beat in the chest and a song in the heart
We are the pearl of the south, we are the pride of the east
From the mighty lion to the smallest beast
We march to the rhythm of freedom's beat
With the dust of the dance on our happy feet!
Chorus
Oh, One Zambia, One Nation!
Sing it loud for the celebration!
Sixty-two years of shining, we are one
From the Victoria Falls to the eastern sun!
Raise the flag, let the colors fly
Underneath the vast African sky!
Oh, One Zambia, One Nation!
Outro
(The music strips back to just the drums and the clapping. The lead singer calls out, and the crowd responds.)
For the land of our fathers! (One Zambia!)
For the children of tomorrow! (One Nation!)
