From the Nile to the Cape, our voices rise,
In the heart of Africa, where the spirit never dies.
Ancient laws whispered in the wind,
Governance rooted where our stories begin.

Ubuntu, the thread that binds our fate,
A creed of justice no borders can negate.
For we are one, from coast to coast,
Guardians of freedom, in that we boast.

Beneath the baobab’s shade, elders convene,
Wisdom flows like rivers, eternally serene.
In council fires, decisions are made,
The people’s voice, a sacred cascade.

Pan-African dreams, bold and grand,
We stand united, hand in hand.
Against the tide of tyranny’s rule,
We forge new paths, with justice as our tool.

No shackles can bind our sovereign will,
For the spirit of Africa is strong, still.
From Sankara to Nkrumah’s might,
We champion truth, we seek the light.

Oh Africa, cradle of humankind,
In your soil, our future we find.
Govern with honor, lead with grace,
In the global sphere, we take our place.

For law and governance, let it be known,
In Africa’s heart, the seeds are sown.
A world reborn through African eyes,
Where justice reigns, and freedom flies.
