I am Africa…
I am Africa.
With the strength of the cheetah,
My native voice will ring-
We are Africa!
We are the heartbeat of Africa!
With the rhino- The meerkat- The noble lion king-
We are Africa!
We are the winds of the Serengeti,
We are the sweat of the jungle man
We are the tears of Nelson Mandela
We are the lost boys of the Sudan.
I am Africa!
Just like Bono! I am Africa!
I flew in here and became one with this land!
Ha na heya! Za ba neyba!
I’m not a follower anymore!
No, now I am frickin’ Africa! With my Zulu spear
I run barefoot through the sand!
I am Africa!
Ha na hey a zaba ney…
We are Africa
We are the one, the only Africa
(The one and only Africa)
And the life we live is primitive
and proud!
(Let us smile and laughrica!)
We are Africa
We are deepest, darkest Africa!
(So deep and dark in Africa)
We are the fields and fertile forests,
well endowed!
We are Africa…
We are the sunrise on the Savannah…
A monkey with a banana…
A tribal woman who doesn’t wear a bra…
Ahhh
Africans are African,
But we are Africa
