Rise and Never Fall Again
rise and never fall again
ups and down
hardship and good time
happiness and sorrows
joy and sadness
fear and brave
inspiration and depression
multivation and devaluation
life bleed them all
but were do you want to be
remembered in all your
dreams to come
their will always be a
rise and fall
rise and never fall again
Africa unite the prophet chant
we have been on top
that was before now
we colonized the world
our foot print is a proof
either does the stones lie
but now we are down to earth
so flat in confusion
so disunited with isolation
what happen to our glory
what went wrong
we were not the only humans
enslave in the world
so we oath to buckle up
our power
cos as we fall
we can rise together with unity
if you wonder the cost of damage
of our disunity
check your life as an African
and write me a poem of the soul
cos in life our destines
are bound together even when we
rise and fall
rise and never fall again
the hunters will
always be same
cos a hunter is a hunter
the strangers discovered our
strength
they saw us living in unity
and harmony
when they invaded our land
they realise that unity was
our energy and source
to Our God
our land was rich and bless
cos love was always our
obligation to one another
but after the hunters left
we were left with a strange
civilization
till now we wallow in it
strange gravity we are
yet to deal with
we are not united any
more like the old days
the hunters successfully
divided us
no wonder the prophets
always sings for us to unit
cos together we can make it
together we can live life
to the fulfillment of our destines
on earth
together in unity we will
rise and never fall again
