Early in the morning, the rooster calls my name
Golden light is pouring down on every field and plain
From the cocoa trees to the ocean breeze
Ghana wakes in harmony and peace
Sunrise in Ghana, lighting up the sky
Painting all the mountains as the eagles fly
From Tamale to Accra town
We rise with the sun, and we dance it down
Oh oh Ghana, you’re my soul’s sweet sound
From sunrise to sunset, where love is found
Children laugh and play beneath the mango tree
Fishermen sail out across the shining sea
Drums echo deep in the evening air
As the sun dips low, we say a grateful prayer
Sunrise in Ghana, lighting up the sky
Painting all the mountains as the eagles fly
From Kumasi to Cape Coast town
We rise with the sun, and we dance it down
Oh oh Ghana, you’re my soul’s sweet sound
From sunrise to sunset, where love is found
Oh motherland, your beauty glows
In every grain the farmer sows
Through every night, through every dawn
Ghana’s light keeps shining on
[Final Chorus]
Sunrise in Ghana, lighting up the sky
With hope in our hearts and stars in our eyes
From the north to the southern crown
We rise with the sun, and we dance it down
Oh oh Ghana, you’re my soul’s sweet sound
From sunrise to sunset… where love is found
