Ancient Voices

Haa ahh
Yeah ohh
Haa ahh
Pasipamire was just another young man in the village
Leading a simple life of peace and harmony
No troubles on his mind for he was a simple man

And then Chaminuka came
And Pasipamire was changed
And then the spirit came
Chaminuka was his name
And everywhere there was jubilation
A leader had been found
Chosen by the ancestors

And people came from afar to see him for themselves
He was chosen by the ancestors
And he said, "Children beware strangers want this land
Soon they shall arrive, from the west across the ocean
And you will have to fight, children to survive

You must be brave, you must be strong
You must be brave, you must be strong"

So the people fought with spirit in their hearts
Many years the people fought with spirit in their hearts
And they sang songs of praise to the man who gave them truth
They would survive
And they sang his name in praise of the man who told them truth
They would have life

You must be brave, you must be strong
You must be brave, you must be strong
