Africa will be
Like a city upon a hill
Throw a light where she will
For the world to see

Africa will be
A great river flowing free
Seep refreshing dignity
Raise her children in unity
Na,na,na,na,na,na,na,na, Africa will be
Na,na,na,na,na,na,na,na

Hard my task I see
I pray God to lend a hand
Shower love upon my heart
Set the children free

'Cos it won't be long
Babylon sinks into depair
Tomorrow be needing much repair
Strong Africa will be

She moves away from the tears of yesteryears
No more bitter tales
For her ears to hear
Africa, mother of many nations
All the shades and tongues
children of Jah creation.

Na,na,na,na,na,na,na,na, Africa will be
Na,na,na,na,na,na,na,na
Na,na,na,na,na,na,na,na, Africa will be
Na,na,na,na,na,na,na,na

Hear the bell has told
Freedom fighters come home now
Start returning young and old
B'fore the sun goes down

Who will refuse to dance
When our children sing their song
And our streets begin to mend
I hope will come along

Na,na,na,na,na,na,na,na, Africa will be
Na,na,na,na,na,na,na,na
Na,na,na,na,na,na,na,na, Africa will be
Na,na,na,na,na,na,na,na

Africa will be
Jewel in the sky
It's been a blood, blood red sky
Oh, Lord knows
It's been a blood, blood red sky
Many, many long years
Jewel in the sky...
See the sun breaking through the night
Africa!
Africa!
