Every time i think about African people situation   I remember grand mom saying:   "All this misery has no reason in a rich continent"   World develops trying new experiences   searching for a better life   But Africans are always contemplating   other people development   We know it's time for change   But change will never fall from sky      Haya kele Africa      (Africa must change   Africa is a continent with everything to   be the best. I believe in you Africa)      Sometimes it seems as we didn't understand   what is to be an African   We've got the essential   to be a proud and respected people too   'Cause we know we've got intelligent people   Good people we are   But you and i are sleeping while time passes by   Maybe for you there's no future in Africa   But i say the future is here   God gave us everything to be the best   It depends on you n' i      Haya kele Africa   (A new African   Ooooh I've got a blue   Haya kele Africa)      Don't change your culture be a new African   (3x)      Just be a new African   Djuro birupan...   Yeah don't change your culture      Haya kele Africa   (This is for the new African   The one who's gonna change Africa.)   Yeah!   Woo!   Haya kele Africa      Wake up   (3x)      How many more tears for you?   Africa   When we talk about hunger and disease is always...   Africa   All the disgrace and shame are always on you    Africa   And we born and die in our disgrace Africa   It's time for change; it's time for change Africa   Africa   Oh wake up   This is Afrikkanitha's weeping   Ohhuuuu,   Yeah, yeah my Africa   I know we can prove we can do too   Oh it depends on you and I   Africa
