Rise of Ebony Dawn

(yeaaaah) (rise up)

Open your eyes and see the design

The strings they pull to keep us in line

They write the stories they want us to believe

But we are too wise now to let them deceive

No more shadows on our sacred ground

Listen close to the ancestral sound

(we see it all now) (oh yes we do)

Africa wise, Africa rise

No more illusions, no more compromise We break the chains of the

golden cage

Writing our future on a brand new page

(rise up!) They trade in promises but take the land

While we hold the future

right in our hand

From the high peaks down to the coastal breeze

We stand as giants,

no longer on our knees

Africa wise, Africa rise

No more illusions, no more compromise We break the chains of the

golden cage

Writing our future on a brand new page

We rise... (oh-oh-oh) Africa wise...
