Africa the time has come

Africa the time has come now
That we should dwell together in unity
For united we stand, divide we fall
At the mention of the letters “AU”
My heart tingles and joy leaps
A smile rises to my beautiful face
And hopes are seen in my eyes
How pleasant is it for us to
Live together in peace and unity
It is like an ointment poured
Upon the soul of the Black Race
As stream to a desert
So it is life to our weary souls
