Lyrics: Pamela Reynell
Music: Pamela Reynell
What was a scramble has become a stumble
People are tripping and falling over them selves
Ohh yeah
What was the oppressor has become the compressor
With ranges and hummers and other such sport
Stop bidding at the highest price
Integrity can be bought
This is just what we hear
Rumor Lugambo
Just scratching the surface
I fear
Where is the truth and who will tell
Benefit or cost when our souls burn in hell
The Dark Continent is lit up
Blazing a trail continually filling its cup
Burning with desire and greed
Corruption, indulgence happy to watch the mother bleed
Short term living each for them selves
Looting and pillage rapidly emptying the shelves
Africa ohh yeah
Splendor blind like the sun
Rise up and take the skies
Africa ohh yeah
Rejoice the battle is worn
Free up all your lies
Africa ohh yeah Africa x2
Others left behind
Dust in their eyes
Eating the dirt, tilling the soil
Watching us winner, flaunting the spoils
The difference it would make to those who never had
These rich politicians, who is good who is bad
Fake system and trick governments without food shelter and healthcare
The next generation barely stands a chance
Africa ohh yeah
Splendor blind like the sun
Rise up and take the skies
Africa ohh yeah
Rejoice the battle is worn
Free up all your lies
Africa ohh yeah Africa x2
What will we become if this hatred continues?
Close call between nations
Between
Brothers and sisters
and close relations
Can you not find love for each other?
Intensions are twisted and misconstrued
Lendu, dinka, nuer, hutu, tutsi, luo, and kikuyu
What is the common cause to bind us?
When can we stand in glory and sophistication?
Famous for our Anciency and wisdom
Enforce this warrior Kingdom
