lyrics

My African People, my pride and joy
Beautiful treasures, beautiful stories

I’m from the land of the sunburned skin
I know who I am, foundation origin
Resolute in spirit and mind
Holding firm to my roots, never will I give up my African pride

Oh yeah, oh yeah,
Oh yeah, oh yeah

My African people, my pride and joy
Beautiful treasures, beautiful stories, yeah

A people who is always in defiance
Overcoming many adversaries
A resilient race, see the traces
So smile for me, my African child

Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah

My African people, my pride and joy
Beautiful treasures, beautiful stories, yeah
Smile for me, my African People
Smile for me, oh yeah
