Night of Destiny (UNZA Anthem)
John Nkumbwa
Big inspirational Afro-gospel pop anthem; steady mid-tempo groove with tom-driven march feel
bright rhythm guitars
and warm synth pads. Call-and-response group chants in the hook
crowd shouts on “UNZA!” and “We rise!”. Chorus explodes with stacked harmonies and a youth choir; verses stay tighter and rhythmic for spoken-sung delivery. Male and female vocals trading lines
breakdown bridge with claps and vocal-only chant before a huge final chorus.

[Intro]
UNZA
Are you ready?
March is here
Destiny’s calling
From lecture halls to late-night prayers
Hearts awake
The atmosphere changing (hey!)
[Verse 1]
We’ve been walking these crowded paths
Eyes full of questions
Heavy bags
Looking for more than just a grade
For a word that will not fade
Study weeks and sleepless nights
Whispers turning into cries
This is bigger than a dream
Something holy in the seams
[Chorus]
This is the Night of Destiny
UNZA
We rise
We rise as one
We’ve been searching for clarity
Purpose
Direction
A place to belong
Now the fire of God is coming alive
Over campus
Over every life
Who brings clarity? The Word
Who brings clarity? The Word
At UNZA we rise!
[Verse 2]
Under trees
In the common room
Silent prayers cut through the gloom
Hands are shaking
Hearts repent
Every tear a fresh cement
We are tired of empty talk
We want truth that shapes our walk
Every chapter
Every page
Light is breaking through the haze
[Chorus]
This is the Night of Destiny
UNZA
We rise
We rise as one
We’ve been searching for clarity
Purpose
Direction
A place to belong
Now the fire of God is coming alive
Over campus
Over every life
Who brings clarity? The Word
Who brings clarity? The Word
At UNZA we rise!
[Bridge]
From the hostels to the gates (UNZA!)
On the field and in the labs (we rise!)
Every tribe
Every tongue
Every daughter
Every son
Lift your voice
Lift your hands (oh yeah!)
Let this ground become a flame
If you’re ready for the change
Shout the answer
Shout the Name
[Chorus]
This is the Night of Destiny
UNZA
We rise
We rise as one
We’ve been searching for clarity
Purpose
Direction
A place to belong
Now the fire of God is coming alive
Over campus
Over every life
Who brings clarity? The Word
Who brings clarity? The Word
At UNZA we rise!
