Chorus
Rise up for the motherland
Strong like the river sand
Rise up for the motherland
Africa we understand
Africa we understand
Verse 1
White horizon line
Sun-bleached views are mighty fine
Blue overhead stays clean
Everything we saw was evergreen
Road stretching forever
Hard to cut a bond we will not sever
Shimmering heat
Marching forward on our feet
Pre-Chorus
Building it together
Whatever the weather
Changing the pressure
Finding the treasure
Chorus
Rise up for the motherland
Strong like the river sand
Rise up for the motherland
Africa we understand
Africa we understand
Post-Chorus
Arise arise
Look at our eyes
Arise arise
Verse 2
Khaki clad soldiers
Boulders sitting on their shoulders
Silver buttons flash
Watching all the golden colors clash
Tenacious spirit grows
Knowing how the delta flows
Eden in the swamp
Winning without any pomp
Pre-Chorus
Building it together
Whatever the weather
Changing the pressure
Finding the treasure
Chorus
Rise up for the motherland
Strong like the river sand
Rise up for the motherland
Africa we understand
Africa we understand
Post-Chorus
Arise arise
Look at our eyes
Arise arise
Bridge
Towns are loud
Towns are proud
Towns are endowed
Dreams reach higher than the mound
Cross the ferry for the sacred ground
Prosperity is found
Prosperity is found
Chorus
Rise up for the motherland
Strong like the river sand
Rise up for the motherland
Africa we understand
Africa we understand
