Music is the heartbeat of Africa
And as we drum
So we are drummed
By the pulse of Africa
We celebrate
As we stamp our feet
We celebrate
As we join the beat
The beat for Africa
Music is the harmony of Africa
And as we sing
So we are sung
By the melody of Africa
We celebrate
As we sing our song
We celebrate
As we hum along
We hum for Africa
Music is the glue of Africa
And as we bind
So we are bound
By the unity of Africa
We celebrate
As we join our hands
We celebrate
As we link our lands
We link for Africa
Music is the movement of Africa
And as we move
So we are moved
By the life of Africa
We celebrate
As we band for Africa
We celebrate
As we stand for Africa
We stand for Africa
