Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Africa unite
'Cause we're moving right out of Babylon
And we're going to our Father's land, yeah
[Verse 2]
How good and how pleasant it would be
Before God and man, yeah
To see the unification of all Africans, yeah
As it's been said already, let it be done, yeah
We are the children of the Rastaman
We are the children of the Iyaman
[Verse 3]
Africa unite
'Cause the children wanna come home, yeah
Africa unite
'Cause we're moving right out of Babylon
And we're grooving to our Father's land, yeah
[Verse 4]
How good and how pleasant it would be
Before God and man
To see the unification of all Rastaman, yeah
As it's been said already, let it be done
I tell you who we are under the sun
We are the children of the Rastaman
We are the children of the Iyaman
[Verse 5]
So, Africa unite
Afri-Africa unite, yeah
Unite for the benefit of your people (Africa unite)
Unite for it's later than you think (Africa unite)
Unite for the benefit of my children (Africa unite)
Unite for it's later than you think (Africa unite)
Africa await its Creator (Africa unite)
Africa awaiting its Creator (Africa unite)
Africa, you're my forefather cornerstone (Africa unite)
Unite for the Africans abroad (Africa uniting)
Unite for the Africans a yard (Africa uniting)
