Sun rises on this land;
With it the cry of needy hands.
So much pain and so many tears,
And the world closes its ears.
But Africa, Oh Africa,
You’re first in line at heavens door.
Look to the sky and know for sure,
The way of this world shall be no more.
For there at the gates of splender see,
A new way of order there shall be.
The first shall be last,
And the last shall be first,
In line.
Africa, Oh Africa,
You’re first in line at heavens door.
Look to the sky and know for sure,
The way of this world shall be no more.
Little boy on the street,
In the kingliest robes you shall be;
Standing in line before prophets of old,
For their eyes to behold.
So throw back your heads and shout for joy,
For your pain shall be no more.
Look to the one who holds your key
To a life eternally.
Africa, Oh Africa,
You’re first in line.
