[Verse 1]
I am black and proud
I am rich and strong
You see me standing to all the storms that came along
And I believe in me
That’s why I sing this song
But that I know I can be stronger
I'm a battle to be won
Africa, oh what a endless opportunity
Oh Africa, so much love and hope for you and me
I'm African, there is no limit to all that we can be
If we believe in unity
Oh wonderful creation and the mother of inversion
Let's start the civilization, I am Africa
Oh wonderful creation and the mother of inversion
Let's start the civilization, I am Africa
