Stephen Oremus - I Am Africa lyrics

[ELDER MCKINLEY] I am Africa I am Africa With the strength of the cheetah My native voice will ring [ELDERS] We are Africa! We are the heartbeat of Africa! [ELDER SCHRADER] With the rhino [ELDER THOMAS] The meerkat [ELDER CHURCH] The noble lion king [ELDERS] We are Africa! We are the winds of the Serengeti We are the sweat of the jungle man We are the tears of Nelson Mandela We are the lost boys of the Sudan [ELDER CUNNINGHAM] I am Africa! Just like Bono! I am Africa! I flew in here, and became one with This land! [ELDERS:] Ha na heya! Za ba neyba! [ELDER CUNNINGHAM] I'm not a follower anymore No, now I'm frickin Africa! With my Zulu spear I run barefoot through the sand! I am Africa! [ELDERS] Ha na heya za ba ney We are Africa We are the, the only Africa (The one and only Africa) And the life we live is primitive And proud! (Let us smile and laughrica!) We are Africa! We are the deepest, darkest Africa! (So deep and dark Africa) We are the fields and fertile forests Well endowed! We are Africa! [ELDER MCKINLEY] We are the sunrise on the Savannah [ELDER ZELDER] A monkey with a banana [ELDER CHURCH] A tribal woman who doesn't wear a bra [ELDERS] Ahhhh Africans are African But we are Africa!
