African Freedom’s Anthem
[Verse]
Drums beat loud where the sun won’t sleep
Fields whisper secrets the winds can’t keep
Hands in the soil where the roots run deep
[Prechorus]
Oh the sky bends low to hear our call
We rise we rise we won’t let fall
[Chorus]
Africa will sing sing sing
Raise its voice let the echoes ring
Africa will fight fight fight
Through the storm into the light
We’ll pray we’ll work we’ll dare invent
Freedom’s ours it’s heaven-sent
[Verse 2]
Mountains watch as we climb the night
Rivers carve paths where dreams take flight
Our hearts are flames burning oh so bright
[Chorus]
Africa will sing sing sing
Raise its voice let the echoes ring
Africa will fight fight fight
Through the storm into the light
We’ll pray we’ll work we’ll dare invent
Freedom’s ours it’s heaven-sent
[Bridge]
Chains may rust but we won’t break
Truth will rise for freedom’s sake
Oh the land it breathes our name
We’re unchained unbound untamed
(12)
