Richard Nnoli Poet Lyric

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
