Lyrics:

Here comes the African sun
Here comes the African sun

Magic mirror on the wall please
Tell me what is my fate
Will I walk in the morning
Give me peace give me space
Take your guns I say...
And leave me alone
Leave my sacred land...
Its my African home
Its my African home
And were not alone

Here comes the African Sun
Here are the daughters and sons
And we will stand as one
Together were strong
Standing as one

Were standing as one

You can try and break me
But you know its in vain
Course I will come out victoriously
And you have nothing to gain
Spirits of Africa...
Dont let them stay
Leave my sacred lands...
And go away.
Were gonna take it no more
Were gonna take it no more

Here comes the African Sun
Here are the daughters and sons
And we will stand as one
Together were strong
Standing as one

Were standing as one

Here comes the African sun
Here comes the African sun
