WHAT CAN I CALL THE FREEDOM FIGHTERS

They paid the price
They paid the sacrifice
But many did not live
To reap the results
They were men with a
Heart for all generations
Of the nation and
After they achieved
The impossible they perceived
And said,’’ one Zambia
One nation’’
So that the future would
Be peaceful and bear
Unit and togetherness
Eventually and gradually
Prosperity and development
What name can I call?
Those heroes, our
Freedom fighters who
Made the nation what
It is today
Who paid the price for
Our sovereignty and dignity
Let me call them gallant
Let me call them patriots
Let me call the nationalist
Let me call them visionaries
Let me call the veterans
Let me call them good will
Let me call them martyrs
Let me call them saviors
And all these names
Befits them but what
More can we do and give
To honor those of them
Still living yet no one
Does anything
