I'am Africa
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I am Africa
I am Africa
With the strength of the cheetah
My native voice will ring
We are Africa
We are the heartbeat of Africa
With the rhino, the meerkat, the noble lion king
We are Africa
We are the winds of the Serengeti
We are the sweat of the jungle man
We are the tears of Nelson Mandela
We are the lost boys of the Sudan
I am Africa
Just like Bono, I am Africa
I flew in here and become one with this land
Ha na heya! Za ba neyba!
I'm not a follower anymore
No, now I'm freakin' Africa
With my Zulu spear, I run barefoot through the sand
And I am Africa
Ha na hey a za ba ney...
We are Africa (We are Africa)
We are the one, the only Africa (The one and only Africa)
And the life we live is primitive and proud! (Let us smile and laughrica!)
We are Africa (We are Africa)
We are deepest, darkest Africa! (So deep and dark in Africa)
We are the fields and fertile forest, well endowed
We are Africa (We are Africa)
We are the sunrise on the Savannah
A monkey with a banana
A tribal woman who doesn't wear a bra
Ahhh...Africans are African
But we are Africa!
