Yeah, yeah, Gerano in the building
Peace and love, one heart, one aim
One Africa, one people, listen now
Hey, Mr. President, tell me what is going on
Our people are crying, tell me where have we gone wrong?
Lack of education, lack of roads in our towns
No more good water to drink, who's gonna turn things around?
Children travel five to seven miles just to fetch some water every day
Before they go to school to learn, they must work before they find their way
Tell me, what are you gonna do about the suffering of our people?
These children are our future leaders, of our generation
Africa, let’s stand together, yeah
Divided we fall, united we stand
Africa, let’s fight together, rise up
For the healing of the motherland, jah bless
One love in the heart, one vision in the eye
Underneath the golden sun, beneath the open sky
Look at the fields, they are dry and they are bare
But there’s a spirit of the people moving through the air
From the East to the West, we share a common thread
We need to build a future where our children can be fed
Easy now, let the wisdom flow like a mighty stream
We have the power in our hands to build this dream
No more boundaries, no more lines upon the map
It’s time to close the distance and fill the hungry gap
Africa, let’s stand together, yeah
Divided we fall, united we stand
Africa, let’s fight together, rise up
For the healing of the motherland, jah bless
One love in the heart, one vision in the eye
Underneath the golden sun, beneath the open sky
Oh, can you hear the rhythm of the drum?
The new day is rising, the change is gonna come
Oh, yeah, it’s coming, the hope is on the breeze
We bring the message of peace, we bring it to our knees
So Mr. President, heed the call of the youth today
They are the light, they are the ones to lead the way
Give them the tools, give them the chance to grow
And watch the seeds of prosperity begin to show
It’s time for unity, it’s time to break the chain
Let the sunshine come and wash away the pain
One Africa, we are strong, we are wise
Look at the future shining in our children’s eyes
Africa, let’s stand together, yeah
Divided we fall, united we stand
Africa, let’s fight together, rise up
For the healing of the motherland, jah bless
One love in the heart, one vision in the eye
Underneath the golden sun, beneath the open sky
One Africa, one people, yeah
Standing tall, standing strong
Gerano, peace and love
Rise up, Africa, rise up
One love, one heart, jah bless
