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 yeah now
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 yeah now
The black oasis ancient africa the sacred
The sleeping giant science art is your creation
I dreamed that we could visit old kemet
Your history is too complex and rigid for some western critics They want the whole subject diminished
But africa's the origin of all the world's religions
We praise bridges that carried us over
The battle fronts of sudanic soldiers the task put before us Do you hear me now 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 yeah now
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
Who are we today the slums diseases aids
We need that all to fade we cannot be afraid So who are we today We are the morning after the makeshift youth The slave-ship captured our diaspora is the final chapter The ancestral lineage built pyramids America's first immigrants the kings and daughters from our waters The first architect the first philosophers
Astronomers the first prophets and the doctors were us us Now can we all pray each in his own way Teaching and learning we can work it out
We'll have a warm bed we'll have some warm bread Shelter from the storm dread and we can work it out Mother nature feeds all in farming and drought And though selfish in ways not to share is 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 yeah now
Africa must wake up the sleeping sons of Jacob What tomorrow may bring may some more love come Yesterday we were kings I tell ya young bloods The world is yours today
