Africa the beginning

Ah, Africa, land of the rise Now you be the start for mankind every side

But outsiders dem down blind our eyes We dem search for the truth, we gon rise

Africa, now here we first start But some people come and tear us apart

Then they teach our daughters to they hate their own skin

Then no one make we see the beauty within Some they hustle from night till dawn

Try to be like the ones where they put them down

But we no go bend, we no go break Africa strong, we go find our way

Restore your children, make them shine bright From the mountain high to the darkest night

No more chains, we go take back the fight Africa rise, we declaim our rights

Africa, we go rise again From the soil where birth mankind's rain
