Rise Like the Morning

From the dust of the savanna, where the ancient rivers flow
We carried seeds of stories that the world refused to know
Through the shadows of the seasons, through the chains and through the night
We kept a fire burning, waiting for the morning light.
Now the red soil is breathing, can you feel it in your feet?
The rhythm of a billion hearts, a brand new steady beat.
​
It’s more than a dream, it’s a waking soul
No longer the pieces, we’re becoming the whole
The chains are breaking, the silence is gone
We’re dancing on the edge of a golden dawn!
​
Rise, rise, Africa rise!
Underneath the vast and the open skies.
Freedom is the anthem, Peace is the ground
Listen to the glory, hear the joyful sound!
Independent spirit, power in our hand
Building up the future for the promised land.

Cities reaching for the stars, technology and grace
The wisdom of the elders in a young and shining face
No more looking backward, we define our own way
From Lagos to Nairobi, it’s a brand new day.
No more borders in our spirits, no more walls within the mind
Leaving every shadow of the sorrow far behind.
​
Give us peace like a river, let it wash away the pain
Let the fields of our children grow with sunshine and the rain
Independence isn’t just a flag or a name
It’s the dignity of knowing we are masters of the flame!

​Rise, rise, Africa rise!
Underneath the vast and the open skies.
Freedom is the anthem, Peace is the ground
Listen to the glory, hear the joyful sound!
Independent spirit, power in our hand
Building up the future for the promised land.
​
The sun is high (Rise up!)
The peace is ours (Rise up!)
One heart, one soul, one continent.
