By Simeon Austin David Pangu
Africa, land of ancient glory
Where the sun rises bright and bold
A place of diversity and story
Where cultures old and new unfold
Yet still we struggle, still we toil
Trapped in mental chains that bind
The weight of history, the endless toil
Leaves us searching for a way to unwind
But let us not despair, let us not give in
To the forces that would keep us down
For we are strong, we are resilient
We can rise up from the ground
Let us emancipate ourselves from mental slavery
Break the chains that hold us back
For we are Africa, proud and mighty
A continent that refuses to crack
So let us rise, let us break free
From the chains that bind our minds
For we are Africa, the land of the free
And our future is one we will find.
We stand on the shoulders of giants
Of those who came before
Their struggles, their triumphs
Form the tapestry of our history's lore
But it is up to us, to forge a new path
To create a future that is bright
One where all are equal, all are free
Where justice and equality take flight
So let us embrace our diversity
Let it be a source of strength and pride
Let us celebrate our differences
And come together, side by side
For we are Africa, a continent of hope
A place where dreams can be realized
Where the possibilities are endless
And our potential, never compromised
So let us rise, let us break free
From the chains that bind our minds
For we are Africa, the land of the free
And our future is one we will find.
