[Verse]
The sun beats down
The streets on fire
Dreams are tangled in razor wire
Shadows whisper
Shadows run
Who's the voice under this sun?
[Prechorus]
They locked the truth behind the bars
But it hums in hearts
It hums in scars
[Chorus]
Oh Tanzania
Who will you be?
A voice in chains or the roar of free?
Oh Tanzania
Your story's begun
In the shadows
In the sun
[Verse 2]
A ballot burns
A promise fades
The youth rise up
Their fists like blades
They chant for hope
They cry for change
But the stage is set
The script's arranged
[Prechorus]
The streets are louder than the lies
Freedom’s spark won’t compromise
[Chorus]
Oh Tanzania
Who will you be?
A voice in chains or the roar of free?
Oh Tanzania
Your story's begun
In the shadows
In the sun
