Lyrics
V1 Mankind sprouted from our soil History began here Culture melts, remaining loyal To the biosphere V2 From the seedlings of time Our people survived Transplanted, like a climbing vine We adapted and thrived Chorus Velvet skin of every color Diversity in all its beauty Colonialism, a painful blur Torn between heart and duty New tribes had to rise Politics of before and after A nation of people cries Praying to restore the laughter Of our children of Africa Our homeland, Africa V3 We speak in many tongues But share a common bond Souvenirs of the past are among Memories far beyond Bridge Enslavement of our people Africa is free Chorus Velvet skin of every color Diversity in all its beauty Colonialism, a painful blur Torn between heart and duty New tribes had to rise Politics of before and after A nation of people cries Praying to restore the laughter Of our children of Africa Our homeland, Africa Outro We are free people, Africa, Africa
