May PanAfricanism be our guiding light

Let the paths of our ancestors remain in sight,
Their struggles, their dreams, their fearless might.
Nkrumah's vision, Sankara's spirit, Lumumba's grace,
Mandela's legacy, a beacon for our race.
Ghaddafi's resilience, a lesson to embrace
From Cameroon's plains to Sahara's gliding grace.

Under the vastness of the Atlantic sky,
In Senegal's savannahs, let unity fly.
Let Pan-Africanism fill every breath we take
From cradle to grave, for humanity's sake.
No lines drawn by foreign hands should divide
But shared minds and lands, our true guide.
