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
 [Bridge: Jr.
 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

 Oo ninkii doortay dinta, waadinka dillee
 Oo dal markii ladhiso, waadinka dunshee
 Oo daacad ninkii damcay, waadinka dooxee
 Dadyahow daali waayey, nabada diideen
