*Solo Introduction* --- **Verse 1** In the heart of the world, I feel your pulse Mother Africa, your spirit reminds us Of the deep roots that time has not taken away Of the strength that has always flourished in your womb Your children scattered throughout the four corners Seek your warmth and your sacred mantle In the beats of the drum, the voice of the ancestor Guides us, connects us, makes us immortal --- **Chorus** Oh, Mother Africa, your love is the root In your arms, I find my peace Your strength lives in me, makes me resist Oh, Mother Africa, I will always follow you ---
