Natural to the flow of rhythms, In sync with music
Wired by percussion, The sound is part of our life

Oh Africa, though art plentiful in riches
Happiness is free, The mornings are blessed,
Everyday is a new tale

Stories unfolding into dreams,
Remembrance and reverence to the spirits
Living in you , Living in us
We are happy people

Give us the drums , Give us the music
Listen to our tune
We are happy people

We don't see colours
We see humans
Everyone has a value
We are happy people

It is bright over here
There's light over here
We are not a dark continent
We are happy people

Sort:  

Indeed, we are happy people😃
