Chaana

Chaana (shine)
Chaana
High Grade!
Soweto Gospel Choir, let's go!

Chaana, chaana Africa (shine, shine Africa)
Chaana, chaana Africa
From the North to the South, let it shine
From the East to the West, it's our time
Chaana, chaana Africa
(Shine on, shine on)

I'm coming from the roots of the Gold Coast
But my heart beats for the whole coast
A champion's spirit, we never stay low
Resilience is the only seed that we sow
In the streets of Wa, I found my light
Now we taking the message to a new height
African giant, standing so tall
Unity is the answer, we never shall fall

(Zulu vocals focused on unity and strength)
Bayede! (Hail!)
Ubumunye bethu ngamandla ethu (our unity is our strength)
Chaana Africa

Chaana, chaana Africa
Chaana, chaana Africa
From the North to the South, let it shine
From the East to the West, it's our time
Chaana, chaana Africa

One blood, one soul, one destination
Regardless of the tribe or the nation
Look at the sun, see how it glows
That's the same energy that Africa knows
No more boundaries, no more chains
Only the rhythm flowing through our veins
Soweto to Accra, the link is so strong
This is the land where we all belong

It's our time to rise (Chaana!)
Look into our eyes (Chaana!)
The future is bright, the future is now
Africa, take a bow!

Keep shining, keep glowing
The world is watching
Wala to the world
South Africa to the world
Chaana!
