Rise Up and Shine

[Verse]
Started low where the dust would dance
Fighting shadows with empty hands
But still
We laugh—oh
We laugh so wild
When we meet
My friends
We’re fireflies

[Chorus]
Aminiyawolabaa
Feel the beat
We won’t bow
No
We won’t retreat
Kondwasulubana
Hear the sound
From the ground up
We turn around

[Verse 2]
Trouble comes
But we never run
Stay and face it
‘til the battle’s won
We were boys
But now we’re men
Siyakuluma
We rise again

[Bridge]
The weight is heavy
The climb is steep
But dreams don’t fade
They never sleep
Oh
The struggle
It shapes the soul
Kutsiaabana
We’ll reach our goal

[Chorus]
Aminiyawolabaa
Feel the beat
We won’t bow
No
We won’t retreat
Kondwasulubana
Hear the sound
From the ground up
We turn around
