Full Lyrics

Eh-yaa… eh-yaa… eh-yaa…
Hee-yo! Hee-yo!
Hey! Hey!‎
My motherland!‎
Hey-ya! Hey-ya! Hey-ya!
Hey-ya! Hey-ya! Hey-ya!‎
Africa will rise — like the sun on the plain,
Hope in our hearts — like the first summer rain.
Voices together — lifting the sky,
Africa sings — and our spirits fly!‎
Africa will rise — and the story is ours,
Roots in the soil, eyes set on the stars.
No more despair, no more being undone —
We walk together, and we walk as one.‎
Verse 1‎
We remember the elders beneath the tall trees,
The drums telling secrets carried by the breeze.
From Umuofia’s fields to the long River Nile,
Our stories have traveled mile after mile.‎
They called us weak — but they never knew,
The laughter, the courage, the love that grew.
Songs in the evening, hands in the grain,
Hearts full of strength — again and again.‎
What once was forgotten — now we can tell,
The sorrow and beauty — we carry them well.‎
Pre-Chorus
Who are we?
WE ARE THE CHILDREN OF THE SUN!‎
What do we carry?
HOPE FOR EVERYONE!‎
Where do we walk?
ALWAYS FORWARD!‎
Chorus
Africa will rise — the dawn is bright,
Dancing in color, bursting with light.
Broken things mended, hearts that can heal,
Africa’s heartbeat steady and real.‎
Africa will rise — and the center will hold,
Not fear, not darkness — but courage and gold.
From mountain to ocean, from desert to sea,
Africa sings: We are proud, we are free!‎
Verse 2‎
Okonkwo was strong — but he walked alone,
Now we build bridges, stone after stone.‎
Like Nwoye who longed for a gentler song,
We learn to forgive, and right what was wrong.‎
Old ways and new ways — hand in hand,
Wisdom and learning across every land.‎
Mothers and daughters — lifting the flame…‎
Fathers and sons — honoring the name…‎
Not just surviving — but ready to shine,
A future of plenty — for yours and for mine.‎
Bridge
Can you hear the drums?
WE HEAR THE DRUMS!‎
Can you feel the joy?
WE FEEL THE JOY!‎
Africa, mother — your children return!‎
WE STAND AS ONE!
WE WALK AS ONE!‎
Igbo kwenu — yaa!
Zulu, Asante, Hausa — yaa!
Maghreb, Nile, Savannah — yaa!‎
Final Chorus
Africa will rise — brighter than before,
Opening wide a thousand new doors.
Dreams like rivers flowing so wide,
Hope like an ocean deep inside.‎
Africa will rise — let the whole world see,
Strength in our unity, powerful and free.
The past is our teacher — the future is near,
Africa sings — and the path is clear!‎
Outro
He-ya… He-ya…
Ho-oh… Ho-oh…‎
Ho-oh… Ho-oh…
Unity! Unity!‎
Ho-oh… Ho-oh…‎
Ho-oh… Ho-oh…‎
Ho-oh… Ho-oh…‎
The story is ours,
Our hands on the pen,
The center will hold —
Again and again.‎
Ho-oh… Ho-oh…‎
Ho-oh… Ho-oh…‎
Ho-oh… Ho-oh…‎
Ho-oh… Ho-oh…‎
Ho-oh… Ho-oh…‎
He-ya… He-ya…‎
He-ya… He-ya…‎
He-ya… He-ya…‎
He-ya… He-ya…‎
