Africa!!!! | NEW AFRICA I am Youssou Ndour Calling all Africans Asking you to share ideas And come together to a meeting of minds Without borders, let's pool our resources and work together Let’s come together and let nothing pull us apart You heads of state You may lead a country But you don’t own it True leaders love their country Although we can ask for help Let’s depend on ourselves first We are Africans When the sun comes up Be on your feet Ready with your tools of trade The day passes very quickly Let’s confront our problems one at a time United we are stronger A long road lies ahead We have much to do So let’s get ready When I think of how our grandparents suffered I cry But our past must not stop us from moving forward I dream to see Africans unified by a common vision Let’s marshal our ideas, our energies Open the borders and come together Change your thinking Work together Keep on working Cheikh Anta Diop, Kwame Nkrumah, Steven Biko, Nelson Mandela All you people AFRICA!! |
