I Am Africa

I am Africa
Ancient
The drum that beats within your chest
I am the breath of the savannah
The thunder over the mountains

I am Africa
Eternal, fierce and divine
From the first cry of dawn
To the last light of dusk

My children rise in rhythm with the earth
Through storm, through silence
Through centuries of song
I remain

Remember me in your blood
In your dreams in the whisper of rain
For I am not just land
I am living spirit

I am Africa
I am the mother
I am the song of creation

I am Africa
I am the mother
The heartbeat of every nation

From the rocks and rivers
To the golden plains
I carry the stories, the joys, the pains

The wind calls my name
The stars know my song
Through you, my children. I grow strong

In the silence of your heart
You will find me
In the rivers, in the rain, in the fire

I am calling you home
To remember
To rise
To become

My spirit flows through the forest deep
Through deserts wide where shadows sleep
I am the thunder, the rain, the flame
The eternal voice that speaks your name

I am Africa
I am the mother
I am the song of creation

I am Africa
I am the mother
The heartbeat of every nation

Carry me in your steps
In your dreams
In your being

For I am Africa
And I am eternal
