Oh, Africa, your land's been torn,

[Chorus] Oh, Africa, your land's been torn, From the days of old to the light of dawn. Kings rise, kings fall, but the pain remains, In the heart of the people, still echo the chains. [Verse 1] [cinematic, orchestral pop] From the rivers wide to the desert sands, You’ve seen the blood spill across the lands. Colonial hands, they took what was yours, Leaving you broken with invisible sores. [Pre-Chorus] But you still stand, you still fight, With the hope of freedom shining bright. Through the years of darkness, you’ll find your way, Through the storm, you’ll see the new day. [Chorus] Oh, Africa, your land's been torn, From the days of old to the light of dawn. Kings rise, kings fall, but the pain remains, In the heart of the people, still echo the chains. [Verse 2] [operatic pop, pace increase] A thousand leaders came with promises bold, But each one betrayed, each one sold. The cries of the people, the weight of despair, As one despot rises, another’s still there. [Pre-Chorus] But you still stand, you still fight, With the hope of freedom shining bright. Through the years of darkness, you’ll find your way, Through the storm, you’ll see the new day. [Chorus] Oh, Africa, your land's been torn, From the days of old to the light of dawn. Kings rise, kings fall, but the pain remains, In the heart of the people, still echo the chains. [Bridge] [falsetto, vocal fry] Through every coup, and every fall, The people rise, they hear the call. For justice, peace, and liberty, One day you'll break free, you will be free. [Chorus] Oh, Africa, your land's been torn, From the days of old to the light of dawn. Kings rise, kings fall, but the pain remains, In the heart of the people, still echo the chains. [Outro] But in the silence, there's a song, Of the spirit that’s been here all along. Africa, your heart is strong, One day, the chains will be gone.
