Lyrics Ethiopian Sunrise - Fikir Amlak

Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah

They see us as a hungry child
In a perpetual state of genocide
Without a clue on how to civilize
They never know until the morning light

Ethiopian sunrise
Ethiopians surging like the River Nile
What a insurrection coming inna due time
Sunrise, sunrise
Rise
Warriors converging on the river Nile
What a resurrection we will see in due time
Sunrise, sunrise yeah
Sunrise, sunrise yeah
Yeah
Sunri-i-ise

We have come into this world
Dark as we are
In a different category, in a different caste
So we had to go down the catacomb path
Waiting til the day when we'll be free at last
What happened in the past, stays in the past
What's happening now it nah really gwaan last
If you can't tell then you're headed for a crash
We will rise up, like the Phoenix from the ash

Ethiopian sunrise
Ethiopians surging like the River Nile
What a insurrection coming inna due time
Sunrise, sunrise
Rise
Warriors converging right there pon the river Nile
What a resurrection we will see in due time
Sunrise, sunrise yeah
Sunrise, sunrise yeah
Yeah
Sunri-i-ise

We have come into this world
Dark was the road
In my mothers womb I was fashioned from beyond
In the dark of Africa I hear a sound
Calling us forward to reclaim our throne
In Addis Ababa where Selassie was crowned
By the coast of Ghana Kwame Nkrumah was found
In the hills of Kenya where the Mau Mau fought on
Majesty works yeah they must live on
Majesty works yeah they must live on

Ethiopian sunrise
Ethiopians surging like the River Nile
What a insurrection coming inna due time
Sunrise, sunrise
Rise
Warriors converging right there pon the river Nile
What a resurrection we will see in due time
Sunrise, sunrise yeah, yeah
Sunrise, sunrise yeah, yeah
Yeah
Selassie I
Aah
