_Verse 1 (English)_
In the heart of Africa, where the drums beat loud, strong and echo, all day, all night, forever strong
There's a voice that's rising, a message that can't be wrong
It's the voice of freedom, of unity and pride
A call to action, to let the world know we won't be denied
_Pre-Chorus (Patois)_
Wi ah standin' tall, wi ah standin' strong
Wi ah united, wi ah movin' forward all
_Chorus (Patois)_
Wi ah Africa's voice, wi ah di voice of Africa's land
Wi ah di voice of Africa, united as one continent, standing strong, hand in hand
Wi ah rise up, wi ah take control
Wi ah Africa's voice, wi ah di voice of di soul
_Verse 2 (Yoruba)_
Eko lo ni baje, Africa ti de, eko lo ni baje, Africa ti ri, iwa ri, iwa ri, iwa ri o
_Chorus (Patois)_
Wi ah Africa's voice, wi ah di voice of Africa's land
Wi ah di voice of Africa, united as one continent, standing strong, hand in hand
Wi ah rise up, wi ah take control
Wi ah Africa's voice, wi ah di voice of di soul
_Rap Section (English)_
Listen up, y'all, it's time to rise
