Motherland Rising
A song made by crainsjah art design
Africa, Africa, where it all began
One love
From the cradle of humanity we rose
Golden kingdoms, wisdom that the whole world knows
But chains and greed tried to steal our pride
Now we question why the motherland still cries
Rich in diamonds, gold beneath the sand
Yet the children hungry in their own land
It's not the soil, it's the system that divides
Time to break the chains and open up our eyes
Africa, Africa, you're the heart of the earth
Cradle of the people, home of our birth
Why you suffering when you gave us everything?
Motherland rising, hear the freedom ring
One love, one love, bless up
Motherland rising, we never give up
They took the resources but left us the pain
Drew the borders, now we fight in vain
But the ancestors whisper in the wind
Unity is how we rise again
From Lagos to Nairobi, Accra to the Cape
We got the power to reshape our fate
No more begging for what's already ours
Africa shining like the morning stars
Africa, Africa, you're the heart of the earth
Cradle of the people, home of our birth
Why you suffering when you gave us everything?
Motherland rising, hear the freedom ring
One love, one love, bless up
Motherland rising, we never give up
Irie, motherland irie
Forward, Africa forward
