Arise oh Africa

Rise oh Africa 
Wake up the sleeping lion 
Let her stand on her ten toes 
Yes let her see the light 
Too long she has been hungry 
Too long mama Africa has been bleeding 
She hopes to feed her children in peace one day
She holds no grudges with the world 
Yet the world hunt her down 
Destroying her inheritance and 
Turn her land to a space of wars 
So again I pray she wakes up one days 
I Hope she could rise to face her troubles 
I wish the days yet to come will be better days for her next generation 
God bless the world 
God bless mama Africa
