(Verse 1)
From Cairo to Zanibar, we rise,
In the land of the sun, with our eyes on the prize,
In Addis Ababa, where the rhythms flow,
We dance to the heartbeat of our roots, let it show.
(Chorus)
Oh, kings and queens, we shine like gold,
In every capital, our stories are told,
With pride in our hearts, we sing and unite,
Africa's beauty, we claim every night.
(Verse 2)
Down in Dakar, where the waves kiss the shore,
Feel the spirit of Nairobi, it’s what we adore,
And in Pretoria, we stand tall and strong,
With melodies rising, it’s where we belong.
(Chorus)
Oh, kings and queens, we shine like gold,
In every capital, our stories are told,
With pride in our hearts, we sing and unite,
Africa's beauty, we claim every night.
(Bridge)
From Lagos or Accra to Kampala, our voices arise,
Together we flourish, under vibrant skies,
So let the world see our love and our grace,
In this celebration, we all find our place.
(Chorus)
Oh, kings and queens, we shine like gold,
In every capital, our stories are told,
With pride in our hearts, we sing and unite,
Africa's beauty, we claim every night.
(Outro)
Together we rise, as one, we embrace,
In every heartbeat, feel the rhythm and grace,
Kings and queens, we stand side by side,
In the heart of Africa, forever our pride.
Africa my Africa
We celebrate thee
We celebrate our kings and queens
Past present and future
We are Proudly African
United forever
(Chorus)
Oh, kings and queens, we shine like gold,
In every capital, our stories are told,
With pride in our hearts, we sing and unite,
Africa's beauty, we claim every night.
