hiii… aaaah hiiiii…
Aaaaah hii… aaaah hiiiii…
Ooh weheeee…
Aaaaah hiiiii…
(Low talking drum, shakers, soft synth pad
It is the sound of our ancestors
Great men, great souls, great wisdom
Made evil by colonisers
Ohio… aaah yeeeah…
Oh Africa, Africa, Africa
Wake up and see your worth
Those who say they civilized you
Only came to blind you first
They say
“Don’t call on your ancestors, they are evil”
“But call on mine, that is the real God”
“But my God needs money”
“And that money comes from the minerals you got”

Oh Africa, dance again 💃🏾
Remember who you are 🕺🏾
Ubuntu—We are one
I am because you are
Oh Africa, dance again 💃🏾
Feel the drum in your heart
Ubuntu—We are one
We are because we are
They draw borders in your land
Because divided people fall
When brothers fight among themselves
A stranger takes it all
They say polygamy is a sin
But same-sex marriage is okay
They twist the truth to fit their needs

Oh Africa, dance again 💃🏾
Remember who you are 🕺🏾
Ubuntu—We are one
I am because you are
Oh Africa, dance again
Spirit moving through the drum
Ubuntu—We are one
Ancestors live in u
They kill and bring war in the name of their God
But we knew peace before swords
The spirit of oneness
The voice from realms beyond
Oh Africa…
Oh Africa…
Oh Africa… wake up!
Ubuntu—We are one
Ubuntu—We are one
Ubuntu—We are one
We are… because… we are!
Aah hiii… aaaah hiiiii…
Aaaaah hii… aaaah hiiiii…
Ooh weheeee…
