Africa Must Wake Up歌词

Morning to you man

Morning to you love

Hey I say I say

Africa must wake up the sleeping sons of jacob
For what tomorrow may bring may a better day come
Yesterday we were kings can you tell me young ones
Who are we today yeah now

Africa must wake up the sleeping sons of jacob
For what tomorrow may bring may a better day come
Yesterday we were kings can you tell me young ones

Who are we today yeah now

The black oasis ancient africa the sacred

The sleeping giant science art is your creation

I dreamed that we could visit old kemet

Your history is too complex and rigid for some western critics
They want the whole subject diminished

But africa's the origin of all the world's religions

We praise bridges that carried us over

The battle fronts of sudanic soldiers the task put before us
Do you hear me now
Africa must wake up the sleeping sons of jacob

For what tomorrow may bring may a better day come
Yesterday we were kings can you tell me young ones

Who are we today yeah now

Africa must wake up

The sleeping sons of Jacob
For what tomorrow may bring
May a better day come
Yesterday we were Kings
Can you tell me young ones

Who are we today

Who are we today the slums diseases aids

We need that all to fade we cannot be afraid
So who are we today
We are the morning after the makeshift youth
The slave-ship captured our diaspora is the final chapter
The ancestral lineage built pyramids
America's first immigrants the kings and daughters from our waters
The first architect the first philosophers

Astronomers the first prophets and the doctors were us us
Now can we all pray each in his own way
Teaching and learning we can work it out

We'll have a warm bed we'll have some warm bread
Shelter from the storm dread and we can work it out
Mother nature feeds all in farming and drought
And though selfish in ways not to share is out
What's a tree without root lion without tooth

A lie without truth you hear me out

Africa must wake up the sleeping sons of Jacob
For what tomorrow may bring may a better day come
Yesterday we were kings can you tell me young ones
Who are we today yeah now

Africa must wake up the sleeping sons of Jacob
What tomorrow may bring may some more love come
Yesterday we were kings I tell ya young bloods
The world is yours today

Dadyahow daali waayey nabada diideen

Dadyahow daali waayey nabada diideen

Oo ninkii doortay dinta waadinka dillee

We want to thank y'all everybody out there

This is nas damian marley 'distant relatives'

We're all distant relatives no matter where you from where you live

How near or far africa China Japan afghanistan israel

We're all fam we're all distant relatives

So that's why we came together one of the reasons

Why myself and damian came together

'Cause we all come from one place and that's africa

That's right you too and you

The whole world

We're all family we're just spread out all over the place

So to all my distant relatives let's take it back home

Africa must wake up

The sleeping sons of Jacob
For what tomorrow may bring
May a better day come
Yesterday we were Kings
Can you tell me young ones
Who are we today yeah now

Africa must wake up
The sleeping sons of Jacob
For what tomorrow may bring
May a better day come
Yesterday we were Kings
Can you tell me young ones
Who are we today

Who are we today

Morning to you

Morning to you man

Morning to you love
