Africa Must Wake Up |
| Morning to you man |
| Morning to you love |
| Hey, I say I say |
| Africa must wake up The sleeping sons of Jacob |
| For what tomorrow may bring |
| May a better day come |
| Yesterday we were Kings |
| Can you tell me young ones |
| Who are we today |
| The black oasis |
| Ancient Africa the sacred |
| Awaken the sleeping giant |
| Science, Art is your creation |
| I dreamt that we could visit Old Kemet |
| Your history is too complex and ridig |
| For some western critics |
| They want the whole subject diminished |
| But Africa’s the origin of all the world’s religions |
| We praised bridges that carried us over |
| The battle front of Sudanic soldiers |
| The task put before us Who are we today? |
| The slums, deceases, AIDS |
| We need all that to fade |
| We cannot be afraid |
| So who are we today? |
| We are the morning after |
| The make shift youth |
| The slave ship captured |
| Our Diaspora, is the final chapter |
| The ancetral lineage built pyramids |
| Americas first immigrant |
| The Kings sons and daughters from Nile waters |
| The first architect, the first philosophers, astronomers |
| The first prophets and doctors was |
| Now can we all pray |
| Each in his own way |
| Teaching and Learning |
| And we can work it out |
| We’ll have a warm bed |
| We’ll have some warm bread |
| And shelter from the storm dread |
| And we can work it out |
| Mother Nature feeds all |
| In famine and drought |
| Tell those selfish in ways |
| Not to share us out |
| What’s a tree without root |
| Lion without tooth |
| A lie without truth |
| you hear me out |
| Africa must wake up The sleeping sons of Jacob |
| For what tomorrow may bring |
| May a better day come |
| Yesterday we were Kings |
| Can you tell me young ones |
| Who are we today |
| Ye lord |
| Africa must wake up The sleeping sons of Jacob |
| For what tomorrow may bring |
| May some more love come |
| Yesterday we were Kings |
| I’ll tell you young blood |
| This world is yours today |
| Dadyahow daali waayey, nabada diideen |
| Oo ninkii doortay dinta, waadinka dillee |
| Oo dal markii ladhiso, waadinka dunshee |
| Oo daacad ninkii damcay, waadinka dooxee |
| Dadyahow daali waayey, nabada diideen |
| Oo ninkii doortay dinta, waadinka dillee |
| Oo dal markii ladhiso, waadinka dunshee |
| Oo daacad ninkii damcay, waadinka dooxee |
| Oh ye people restless in the refusal of peace |
| and when a man chooses religion, aren’t you the one’s to kill him? |
| and when a country is built, aren’t you the one’s to tear it down? |
| and when one attempts to tell the truth, aren’t you the one’s to cut him down? |
| Who are we today? |
| Morning to you |
| Morning to you man |
| Morning to you love |
