Ethiopian Sunrize

They see us as a hungry child
In a perpetual state of genocide
Without a clue on how to civilize
They never know until the morning light 

Ethiopian sunrize
Ethiopians surging like the River Nile
What an insurrection coming inna due time
Sunrize 

Rise
Warriors converging on the River Nile
What a resurrection we will see in due time
Sunrize 

We have come into this world dark as we are
In a different category in a different caste
So we had to go down the catacomb path
Waiting til that day when we'll be free at last
What happened in the past stays in the past
What's happening now it nah really gwaan last
If you can't tell then you're headed for a crash
We will rise up like the Phoenix from the ash 

Ethiopian sunrize
Ethiopians surging like the River Nile
What an insurrection coming in due time
Sunrize 

Rise
Warriors converging right there pon the River Nile
What a resurrection we will see in due time
Sunrize 

We have come into this world
Dark was the road
In my mothers womb I was fashioned from beyond
In the dark of Africa I hear a sound
Calling us forward to reclaim our throne
In Addis Ababa where Selassie was crowned
By the coast of Ghana Kwame Nkrumah was found
In the hills of Kenya where the Mau Mau fought on
Majesty works yeah they must live on

Ethiopian sunrize
Ethiopians surging like the River Nile
What an insurrection coming in due time
Sunrize 

Rise
Warriors converging right there on the River Nile
What a resurrection we will see in due time
Sunrize
