[Bbm]
[Ab] [Bbm] Morning to you man, morning to you love
[Fm] [Cm] I [Bbm]
[F] [Bb]
say, [Db] I [Fm] say Africa [Bbm] must wake up
The sleeping sons of Jacob for what tomorrow may bring
May a better [Fm] day come, this the day [Bbm] we work in use
Can you tell me young ones who are we today?
Yeah [Fm] now, well Africa [Bbm] must wake up
The sleeping sons of Jacob for what tomorrow may bring
May a better [Fm] day come, this the day [Bbm] we work in use
Can you tell me young ones who are we today?
Yeah [Fm] now
The black oasis, [Bbm] ancient, Africa the sacred, awaken
The sleeping giant, science, art [Fm] is your creation
A trip that we [Bbm] could visit, oh Kimmy
Your history is too complex and rigid
For some western [Fm] critics, they want the whole [Bbm] subject diminished
But Africa's the origin of all the world's religions
We [Fm] praise bridges that carry us [Bbm] over
The battle fronts of Sudanic soldiers, the task put before us
You hear [Fm] me now, Africa [Bbm] must wake up
The sleeping sons of Jacob for what tomorrow may bring
May [Fm] a better day come, this the day [Bbm] we work in use
Can you tell me young ones who are we today?
Yeah [Fm] now, well Africa [Bbm] must wake up
The sleeping sons of Jacob for what tomorrow may bring
May a better [Ab] day come, this the day we [Bbm] work in use
Can you tell me young ones who are we today?
Who are we [Fm] today?
The slums, diseases, [Bbm] AIDS
We need that all to fade
We cannot be afraid
So who are we [Fm] today?
We are the morning [Bbm] after
The makeshift youth, the slave ship captured
Our diaspora is the final [Fm] chapter
The ancestral [Bbm] lineage built pyramids
America's first immigrant
The king's son and daughters from now [Fm] waters
The first [Bbm] architect, the first philosophers, astronomers
The first prophets and the doctors was us
[Fm] Now can we all [Bbm] pray, each in his own way
Teaching and learning, we can work [Fm] it out
Love a warm [Bbm] bed, love some warm bread
Shelter from the storm dread, we can work [Ab] it out
Mother nature [Bbm] feeds all, in farming and drought
Tell those selfish in ways not to share [Fm] us out
What's a tree [Bbm] without root?
Lion without tooth?
A lie without truth?
You hear [Fm] me out
Africa must [Bbm] wake up, the sleeping sons of Jacob
For what tomorrow may bring
May a better [Fm] day come, this the day [Bbm] we work in use
Can you tell me young ones who are we today?
Yeah [Fm] Lord
Africa [Bbm] must wake up, the sleeping sons of Jacob
For what tomorrow may bring
May some more [Bb] love [Ab] come, this the day we [Bbm] work in use
I tell you young blood, this world is yours today
