Africa Unite
My brothers and sisters in Christ
Africa unite
Let us unite even at night
Let us join forces and fight
Not against each other shall we fight
But against poverty must we fight
In this darkness there shall be light
Our light will so shine, we will stand in might
Though we struggle like mice our victory will be nice
If only we give up our lies
Hypocrisy will lead us in cries
Cries annoying like the ancient flies
Flies that feast on our wounds
So as to increase the pain in our wounds
Pain cutting deep like an axe in the woods
Trifling like a rod on the back of fools
To Africa, we have likened the woods
But to whom shall we liken the axe?
Africa my home my motherland
A land of great fantasy and fairytale
Some of which are yet to be told
Tales of great and mighty warriors
People in our past that stood and stood firm
So proud and so positive
All the galaxies know
Mama Africa is the heart of many souls
The wilderness where many souls rest
Souls returning home from slavery
Dear souls, mother is happy to have you back
Though we preferred both body and spirit in one soul
You left us in prosperity oh prodigal ones
Today you return, only to find us in torment
The axe of poverty tormenting the woods
To poverty, we have likened the axe
But to whom shall we liken to its maker?
