Heh! You know what time it is!
Let's go, c'mon!
Africa, stand up
Everybody move, make I dey see your hands up
We came a long way, so now we can't stop
Free for life, we're taking off the handcuffs
We came to spread love
Through the sea breeze
Natural, mama Africa, we need peace
Home sweet home, everybody for feel free
Check my people and check the beauty
Doing my duty
We're trying to make it a better place for us
And I believe it's gonna happen, in God we trust
Straight from the bottom, all the way up to top
I prophesy it shall come to pass
Amen! From dust to grass, from grass to grace
But it's left to us to make it happen on a daily basis, back to back
Africa stands for peace, let's face the fact, ha
