LYRICS [Intro] Yeah, Yeah, Yeah Africa, oh Africa, together let's rise, and stand up! Time to unite, it’s our moment, let's erupt. Africa, oh Africa, we're so rich in all that the world needs, no more plundering of all our resources, they're our seeds to overcome our poverty and slavery, Now let's rise and unite to unfold our dignity. [Verse 1] Fifty-four states in the heart of the land, Rich in resources, let’s take a stand. From the diamonds to the gold, it’s all in our grasp, The world needs them too, but they keep us in the past. Poverty’s a chain, but we’ll break free, No more distractions, just unity. Brave souls side by side, let’s light up the night, Africa, let your voice echo, ready to fight. [Chorus] Africa, it’s time to unite and rise, Stand tall as lions, reach for the skies. Don't let the world control your dreams, Together we’re strong, stronger than it seems. With power in our hearts, we’ll bloom like a flower, Let's rise in unity; we have the power. [Verse 2] We got the fire in our eyes, the strength in our soul, A tapestry of cultures, let’s take back control. Together we’ll dance, in harmony and peace, No hungry stomachs, let our abundance never cease. Countless stories, histories intertwined, Education and knowledge, we gotta redefine. Support one another, and lift up the weak, Unity and harmony are the future we seek. [Chorus] Africa, it’s time to unite and rise, Stand tall as lions, reach for the skies. Don't let the world control your dreams, Together we’re strong, stronger than it seems. With power in our hearts, we’ll bloom like a flower, Let's rise in unity; we have that power. [Bridge] Now’s the moment, let’s overcome the pain, Trade dependency for intercontinental gain. With our heads held high, let’s create the change, Breaking the barriers, let’s rearrange. Lift every voice, let your story be told, African pride, let it shine like gold. [Verse 3] No more shackles, and no more chains, In unity, we drive out the strains. From Cape to Cairo, let’s come alive, The heartbeat of a united nation, together we thrive. It starts here, it starts now, we’re all in this fight, A new dawn for Africa, let's ignite. [Chorus] Africa, it’s time to unite and rise, Stand tall as lions, reach for the skies. Don't let the world control your dreams, Together we’re strong, stronger than it seems. With power in our hearts, we’ll bloom like a flower, Let's rise in unity; we have that power. [Outro] So hear us, world, we’re taking our stand, United we rise, together hand in hand. Africa, the time is now, can’t you see? Unite and rise, to make this our new destiny. [Shout out] AFRICA., do you hear me? Listen and wake up! Let's overcome all our differences, We're One folk, let's stand together, Give us the hands, let's show the world, Together we stand, because WE ARE Africa, YES, let the World know, and let's speak with one voice, In unity and let's sing together: Listen World, WE ARE AFRICA, and we rise, Treat is with dignity and not with disguise.. WE ARE ONE AFRICA.. YES, ONE AFRICA, YES, ONE AFRICA
