ARISE BELOVED ZIMBABWE

Your former glory Zimbabwe, I remember
The magnificent scenery;
I remember, I will not forget and yes I do miss the moments
I remember the breath of fresh air,
The vast forests filled, with the fierce beasts of the earth, our own garden of Eden.
Green spacious fields,
Fields filled with mealies in season.
October rains drenching lovers waltzing home, hand in hand
Home,
Children’s laughter
A manifestation of peace
Of jubilation
Home,
A dwelling for love;
For merriment

For rest
For peace
Zimbabwe you were;
The home of all precious stones, gems of great value.
The biblical land flowing of honey and cream
And white storks feasting besides the fattened cows
You beloved,
Resembling the pearly gates of heaven
Of abundance
Of plenty

Your present state
Zimbabwe, beloved
I see;
A picture,
Nothing like the former
Like someone moved about their eraser
Leaving a resemblance of what used to be

A picture of a smile where no laughter resides
What is happening to you?
What has become of you?
You know you carry the greatest of treasures
Oh what has become of you
My beloved House of Stone?
Yes I know and you must know also
Yes take heart beloved, for
Weeping may endure for a night
But joy comes in the morning
This which you have witnessed here and now
It will not break you, Zimbabwe
You shall break through it
As the finest of gold
You are in your greatest trials
The lack and chaos and confusion and tribulations
The sickness and deaths and inhuman conditions
The corruption and disobedient generation

The anger and paid and frustration
Are getting worse and worse
But are still yes tests
To prepare you for that which is to follow
Yes, It will be good
Yes but if and only if we choose to do the right thing
In unity
In peace
In our love
And kindness towards one another
But our downfall
If we choose not to
So Arise beloved
Now is the time
Arise Zimbabwe
Arise

I see a light
At the end of the tunnel
Your future awaits
The brightest most magnificent
The world is waiting patiently
For you to arise and lift it to its feet
You are great
They shall come far and wide
To see you;
To see your glory
To see your achievements,
To see your victory
Your better glory awaits
As it returns, to its new glory
A new glorious nature
Much greater than the former
It’s new refined condition;
Of peace

Of love unconditional
Of humility
Of plenty and adequacy for all
Of humanity
We shall walk at last, hand in hand
As brothers, of one mother.
No longer, will your father’s name
Be of much importance
But regards be given to the breast we all suckled
And the bread we broke together.
We shall see Zimbabwe
Resurrected
Bringing forth life
Giving light to all it touches.
Yes Zimbabwe of much value
One at last
Beloved House of stone
Great at last
Beloved Zimbabwe Arise at last and shine.

Arise O Zimbabwe
Look to your God,
He will show you the way
Arise O Zimbabwe
You will lead many
To the promised land

Arise and Shine O Zimbabwe
Simuka upenye O Zimbabwe
Phakama ukhanye O Zimbabwe
Arise Beloved Zimbabwe
