Busy nurturing from the nile from genocide
To sit and watch as darkness prevails
Fighting fire with fire
To sit and watch as darkness
Darkness prevails
Child soldiers on the rise everywhere
Conflict and confrontation is the order of the day
Ethnic centric sentiments behind us
Fast forward Africa
And let's catch that train now

Africa, Africa, bue w'ani
Look into the future
Africa, Africa, bue w'ani
There is a place for you in the future, I say
Africa, Africa, bue w'ani
Ethnic centric sentiments will never take you there
Africa, Africa, bue w'ani
Hutu, Tutsi, you are all one people
Africa, Africa, bue w'ani
Ethnic centric sentiments will never take you there

Africa, Africa, bue w'ani
There is a place for you in the future, I say
Africa, Africa, bue w'ani
Hutu, Tutsi, bue w'ani ei
Africa, Africa, bue w'ani
Africa, Africa, bue w'ani
Bue w'ani (3x)
Africa, Africa, bue w'ani

Africa, Africa, bue w'ani till fade
