Africa, my Africa mine forever
Africa, my heritage, my heart, my soul
Your rising sun kisses my skin
Your beat of your drum raises awareness
The sound of your trumpet touching my soul
cultures dancing to the rhythm of the beat
clapping hands, stamping feet
twisting and turning
Soul to soul
celebrating each mother tongue, art, and music
So much love, hearts singing and dancing
Celebrate yah! Celebrate Africa
Africa, my Africa mine forever
Africa, my heritage, my heart, my soul
