Rise Up Africa

Africa , Africa
rise up Africa
Africa , Africa
stand up Africa
when will you learn Africa
your sons and daughters are calling
they are crying
for they are starving
when will you change 
oh Africa
you hate wisdom
so do not have freedom
and mystery consuming your kingdom
to be brave means disrespect
you have lost a great prospect
Africa , Africa
rise up Africa
Africa , Africa
wake up Africa
