Sunrise falling on the village road Stories written where the baobabs grow Grandmother praying by the fire light. Children laughing while the moon shines bright From the mountains down to the valleys, dream can travel near and far. Different colors, different melodiesBut we dancing to one heartbeat rhythm deep [Pre-Chorus]No border can divide our soulNo hatred can destroy our hopeIf we stand hand in hand todayAfrica will find her way [Chorus]Beat the drum, let the people singFrom the desert to the ocean windBlack and beautiful, strong and freeAfrica united is our destiny Eh eh eh… one heartEh eh eh… one loveRaise your hands to the sky tonightAfrica we will rise! [Verse 2]Tell me why we fight over namesWhen we all got ancestors in chainsSame blood running through our veinsSame tears falling like the rain Young kings, young queens stand tallDon’t let corruption make us fallBuild the schools, heal the landLift each other with our hands [Bridge – Emotional Choir Style]Ubuntu… Ubuntu…“I am because we are…”No child left behind anymoreNo mother crying from war Africa… hear the call…Together we can heal it all… [Final Chorus – Bigger & Powerful]Beat the drum, let the whole world knowAfrica got a powerful soulFrom Kenya to Ghana we shine so brightMillions of stars in the night Eh eh eh… one heartEh eh eh… one loveRaise your flags and sing aloudAfrica forever proud!
