From the east to the west

From the north to the south

Those at home and abroad

Remember our story

Not false histories 

I and I story

From great Kings and Queens

To the first libraries 

And the first universities 

We were the first astronomers

And the first time travelers 

First warriors and spiritual masters 

Hear me Africa hear me

Hear me when I call

Hear me Africa hear me

Hear me when I call

Africa I call…
