Lusaka is the capital and largest city of Zambia. One of the fastest-developing cities in Southern Africa, Lusaka is located in the southern part of the central plateau at an elevation of about 1,279 metres (4,195 feet). As of 2010, the city's population is about 1.7 million, while as the urban population is 2.4 million. Lusaka is the centre of both commerce and government in Zambia and connects to the country's four main highways heading north, south, east and west. English is the official language of the city, but Nyanja and Bemba are also common.
As national capital, Lusaka is the seat of the legislative, executive and judicial branches of government, epitomized by the presence of the National Assembly (parliament), the State House (office of the President), and the High Court. The Parliament is situated at the Parliament complex, which features a 15-story building. The city is also the capital of Lusaka Province, the smallest and most populous of the country's nine provinces, and forms an administrative district run by Lusaka City Council. In 2007, the mayor was Steven Chilatu (PF), and the deputy mayor was Mary Phiri.
Driving in my car, feeling alright
City light so bright, bring back my memories
Pictures of that night, holding you tight
Now you're so far away, light years away from me
Sometimes I feel
I feel you by my side, you are a part of me
Deep inside, oh I can feel
I feel that in the night, you will return to me
I remember how we danced into the light
I remember like it was yesterday
I remember how it felt to hold you tight
I remember like it was yesterday
Like it was yesterday
Sometimes I feel
I feel you by my side, you are a part of me
Deep inside, oh, I can feel
I feel that in the night, you will return to me
I remember how we danced into the light
I remember like it was yesterday
I remember how it felt to hold you tight
I remember like it was yesterday
