Africa Stand Up
Africa stand up
The sun is up
The night is done
Day brake to redemption
And here we sit
Like we still feel the grief
Of the past
Oh Africa arise
Rise for the day
Is done
Africa stand up
The stars are white
Like the sky is dark blue
Guess that what the night
Brings
And we sit to keep
Demanding
Oh Africa arise
Rise for the day
Is done
Africa stand up
Is a full moon
Is time for
No complains
If it take a step
Why not let make
The choice
For we are here
And here we are
Not free
Oh Africa arise
Rise for the day
Is done
Africa stand up
Africa we all are
your opinion it
yes or not
That your query
Why do we all make it a hell
There is no place like home
If the root is not at peace
Then nothing can stand
Is time
The time is now
Africa stand up
Oh Africa arise
Rise for the day
Is done
