Heartbeat Of Africa
In the land of our fathers, we rise with the sun
But darkness surrounds us, our fight's just begun
Corruption's poison, spreading far and wide
Voter intimidation, where truth dares to hide
In the heartbeat of Africa, we stand as one
Against oppression, till freedom's won
With every beat, our voices rise
For justice and truth beneath African skies
In the shadow of power, lost and in vain
Opposition silenced in a web of pain
Political prisoners behind bars, they cry
For speaking out loud, for daring to try
In the heartbeat of Africa, we stand as one
Against oppression, till freedom's won
With every beat, our voices rise
For justice and truth beneath African skies
In the schools of our nation, hope fades away
In the hospitals' corridors, where the sick lay
Poverty's clipped tight with each passing day
But in the hearts of the people, hope will stay
Democracy's promise, a dream yet to be
Delayed in its coming, but one day we'll see
Courage and strength will break every chain
For one day in Africa
In the heartbeat of Africa, we stand as one
Against oppression, till freedom's won
With every beat, our voices rise
For justice and truth beneath African skies
So let's raise our voices, let spirits soar
For in unity and love, we'll open the door
To a future where freedom's song will ring
In the heartbeat of Africa, let freedom sing
But darkness surrounds us, our fight's just begun
Corruption's poison, spreading far and wide
Voter intimidation, where truth dares to hide
In the heartbeat of Africa, we stand as one
Against oppression, till freedom's won
With every beat, our voices rise
For justice and truth beneath African skies
In the shadow of power, lost and in vain
Opposition silenced in a web of pain
Political prisoners behind bars, they cry
For speaking out loud, for daring to try
In the heartbeat of Africa, we stand as one
Against oppression, till freedom's won
With every beat, our voices rise
For justice and truth beneath African skies
In the schools of our nation, hope fades away
In the hospitals' corridors, where the sick lay
Poverty's clipped tight with each passing day
But in the hearts of the people, hope will stay
Democracy's promise, a dream yet to be
Delayed in its coming, but one day we'll see
Courage and strength will break every chain
For one day in Africa
In the heartbeat of Africa, we stand as one
Against oppression, till freedom's won
With every beat, our voices rise
For justice and truth beneath African skies
So let's raise our voices, let spirits soar
For in unity and love, we'll open the door
To a future where freedom's song will ring
In the heartbeat of Africa, let freedom sing
