Verse 1 From the deserts of the North to the Southern seas Same black blood flowing through our histories Different tongues, but the pain sounds the same Different drums, but one eternal flame They taught us borders before teaching love Made us forget who we truly are Now we argue names, land and skin While hunger walks freely, deep within Pre-Chorus Africa don’t need another war We’ve buried enough dreams before Chorus One Africa, one voice, one way From night till the break of day Asisahlukani, we stand as one (We are not divided) One people, one land, one sun One Africa, no hunger, no pain No child crying in the rain One African, one destiny Freedom for Africa, liberty ⸻ Verse 2 No North, no South, no East, no West One mother carried us all in her chest Same soil feeds us, same sky above Same ancestral cries for peace and love They use race to keep us apart Shades of black tearing one heart But melanin don’t change the soul Division was never our role Pre-Chorus Asikho isitha phakathi kwethu (There is no enemy among us) Hatred is learned, not born in truth Chorus One Africa, one voice, one cry Siyavuka, lifting high (We are rising) No guns, no bombs, no tribal lies Just truth reflected in African eyes One Africa, one human race Dignity written on every face ⸻ Bridge Let Congo heal, let Palestine— (optional live change) Let Sudan breathe, let the Sahel shine Let children hold books, not pain Let farmers pray only for rain No more brothers paid to kill No more blood for foreign will Peace is power, love is law That’s what Africa’s rising for Vuka Afrika, isikhathi sesifikile (Wake up Africa, the time has come) ⸻ Verse 3 We don’t need saviours from overseas We need belief, unity, and peace Our wealth is here, our minds are strong Together is where we belong When Africa speaks with one sound No empire can break that ground One message, one stand, one truth A future built for African youth Pre-Chorus If Africa stands as one The war is already won Final Chorus One Africa, one voice, one song From Timbuktu to Cape Town No hunger, no war, no chains Only freedom in African veins One African, one destiny Liberdade à África, we are free From generation to generation United is our liberation ⸻ Outro One land, one soul, one name Africa rising, unashamed We are the past, the now, the flame One Africa… forever the same Amandla ✊🏿 Ubuntu 🌍
