Rise, Africa, Rise!
[Verse 1]
From the fields to the factories, our labor they steal,
Colonial chains still bind us, though they call it free will.
They plunder our land, they sell all our gold,
While workers and farmers are left in the cold.
[Chorus]
Rise, Africa, rise! Break the chains, dry your eyes!
No more hunger, no more lies—workers, unite and organize!
We’ll build a land where justice reigns,
No more masters, no more chains!
[Verse 2]
They preach of progress, yet poverty grows,
A handful grow richer while suffering flows.
They sell our leaders, they silence the bold,
But revolution is fire—its embers won’t grow cold!
[Chorus]
Rise, Africa, rise! Break the chains, dry your eyes!
No more hunger, no more lies—workers, unite and organize!
We’ll build a land where justice reigns,
No more masters, no more chains!
[Verse 3]
From Accra to Cairo, from Cape Town to Chad,
The people are rising, their voices are mad.
We own our labor, we own our land,
No more oppression, together we stand!
[Bridge]
The factories, the fields—let them be ours!
No more toil for imperial powers.
We march for freedom, we fight for bread,
A socialist future lies just ahead!
[Final Chorus]
Rise, Africa, rise! Break the chains, dry your eyes!
No more hunger, no more lies—workers, unite and organize!
We’ll build a land where justice reigns,
No more masters, no more chains!
[Outro]
With courage and struggle, we shall be free,
Africa, rise—our destiny!
