One BlueBird - Running For Africa (Master Pepper Mix 2024) Lyrics

All the countries of the world are here today and they're lined up
And ready to go in this world championship race...

See me running, see me running
See me running, see me running yeah
See me running, yeah

See we're running for Africa with the children of the sun
I wanna go where it begun [and they're off!]
African children welcome I home
To the place where I call home
Nikaribishe nyumbani
To the place where I call home yeah

Deep in a de Congo and in a de jungle, Burkina El Faso
Algeria, Liberia, Tanzania, Morocco, Nigeria
Man dema doń in a de area
Hakuna matata Kenya or Somalia, Eritrea, Ethiopia
Them say this man and that man was born in her
Father bless this land and what it have to offer

African children, watch dem jump watch dem skip
When dem a welcome home their brothers and their sisters

See we're running for Africa with the children of the sun
I wanna go where it begun yeah
African children welcome I home
To the place where I call home
Nikaribishe nyumbani
To the place where I call home

And now as they come into view...around the home turn
And its Africa... United States Of Africa...Clear!
It looks like its gonna be a victory
Bronze silver and the gold!
The gold to United States Of Africa

From Capetown to Cairo, Egypt
Poor people a feel it yeah
Its like an open wound in our land
Gonna take whole heap a generations to heal it

African children, watch dem jump watch dem skip
When dem a welcome home their brothers and their sisters
African children we love you

Running for Africa with the children of the sun

And today is the day when history has been made and as these heroes step up for their medals,
Africa has truly announced itself on the world stage with world domination
Gold, silver and bronze... Clean sweep!
Gold for Africa... and the new national anthem plays...
