Martin Chishimba - Wake Up Africa (feat. Francesca Tripaldi)

The very right to be human
Is denied every day
To hundreds of millions of people
As a result of poverty
And the unavailability of basics necessities
Such as food jobs water and shelter
Education healthcare and a health environment

Wake up wake up Africa
We need another Cleopatra
Wake up wake up Africa
We need another Sankara
Wake up wake up Africa
We need another Wangari Maathai
Wake up wake up Africa
We need another Lumumba

We need a survivor a black survivor
Not a white man on the cross
The Christian doctor the good news bible
Say don't steal from a friend
But when me study colonization
Their behavior nothing close
Lewanika by the British man
Was left with no cloths

Nkosi sikele'i Africa
Nkosi sikele'i Africa

Wake up wake Africa
We need another Huda Sharawi
Wake up wake up Africa
We need another Samora Machel

I want that Africa
Not a dream
Patrice Lumumba died for
I want that Africa
Not a dream
Kwame Nkruma stood for
I want that Africa
Not a dream
Nelson Mandela paid dearly for
I want that Africa
Not a dream
Of Haile Selassie I
I want that Africa
Not a dream
Of Haile Selassie I

An Africa of giants where men and women
Are great proud and dignified
An Africa of giants where men and women
Are great proud and dignified
An Africa of giants where men and women
Are great proud and dignified
An Africa of giants where men and women
Are great proud and dignified

Wake up wake up Africa
Wake up
We need another Cleopatra
Wake up wake up Africa
Wake up
We need another Sankara
Wake up wake up Africa
Wake wake
We need another Wangari Maathai
Wake up wake up wake up
Wake up wake up Africa
Wake up
We need another Lumumba

Nkosi sikele'i Africa
Nkosi sikele'i Africa

The very right to be human
Is denied every day
To hundreds of millions of people
As a result of poverty
And the unavailability of basics necessities
Such as food jobs water and shelter
Education healthcare and a health environment
