Wake up Africa!
And clean this land of blood
Of the innocent child which have been slain
Because of power of et money.

Wake up Africa!
And chase despotic tyrants
Away from the land
And let your people be free
To decide their leader.

Wake up oh Africa!
Thou sleeping giant
And take the place
In the community of nations.

Wake up oh Africa!
And enjoy the resources
Which nature has generously
Bestowed upon thee

Oh wake up Africa!
Let blood shed cease in the land,
Instead, let the children
Breed war against poverty,
Hunger and illiteracy.

Africa should wake up and be the giant she is destined to be.

Africa should wake
Up and be the giant she
Is destined to be.
