Africa

My heart is filled with Africa's spirit
I see its strength in my people's pride
I look beneath the surface and I find
My destiny woven into its fabric
This strength is a beacon, a guiding light
Africa, my love, my soul's delight
Together we will carry this strength forever
Oh Mother, oh Mother Africa, Mother Africa
Oh Mother, oh Mother Africa, Mother Africa
I look back in time and see our struggles
But today we rise, stronger than before
We are united, a force to be reckoned with
Our spirit will never be broken
Oh Mother, oh Mother Africa, Mother Africa
Oh Mother, oh Mother Africa, Mother Africa
Rise, oh rise, rise, oh rise
Rise, oh rise, rise, oh rise
My heart is filled with Africa's spirit
I see its strength in my people's pride
I look beneath the surface and I find
My destiny woven into its fabric
This strength is a beacon, a guiding light
Africa, my love, my soul's delight
Together we will carry this strength forever
Oh Mother, oh Mother Africa
Mother Africa
Oh Mother, oh Mother Africa
Mother Africa
