We Are A People
Proud
We are empty in the land of plenty there’s no food on the
plate
In the name of the God of love they delivered a world of
hate
Promising friendship and freedom for all they made us slaves
Early to toil to earn the master’s spoil we descend to early
graves
We are not a colony we are a people proud
We demand our freedom clear and loud
A few greedy men are always a crowd
We are not a colony we are a people proud
The furnace has raged for long centuries do you embrace the
flame?
My skin is like the midnight sky on high and I feel no shame
Africa’s the place I embrace mother of civilization
Listen to the score once more I am sure we’ll rise to a
great nation
We are not a colony we are a people proud
We demand our freedom clear and loud
A few greedy men are always a crowd
We are not a colony we are a people proud
We were living in mighty tall towers while Europe was in
caves
In the illusion of cruel confusion you made us slaves
Well seasons change my friend and it’s time for terror to
end
God has a purpose and God has a way there’s no chance to
defend
For Arica I fight I pledge my life and all
Freedom is my delight I answer the call
For Africa I sing a blessing forever more
We are a people proud of that I am sure
We are not a colony we are a people proud
We demand our freedom clear and loud
A few greedy men are always a crowd
We are not a colony we are a people proud
Let’s celebrate in unity of the family of our home
To you who have wandered so far away I say cease to roam
Side by side hand in hand let us join our minds to the day
See in the east the rosy rays of dawn God’s answer to what
we pray
We are not a colony we are a people proud
We demand our freedom clear and loud
A few greedy men are always a crowd
We are not a colony we are a people proud
Listen To WE ARE A PEOPLE PROUD
