Children of Afrika Lyrics

African heartbeat
Oh, what a dance
African heartbeat
I wanna dance
Born in Africa
Children of the sun
Walk upon this earth
As the chosen ones

Guided by the light
Of an eastern moon
The fire of the dance
Is alive in you

African heartbeat
Oh, what a dance
African heartbeat
I wanna dance

Lion in your heart
Eagle in your eye
Awaken to the dawn
Of eternal life

Let your spirits beat
To a distant drum
Dreams of Africa
Children of the sun

I will dream of Africa
Joy to the children
Let freedom ring

My heart beats strong for Africa
Child of creation
The song of a nation
Is calling us to dance
African heartbeat
Oh, what a dance
African heartbeat
I wanna dance

Let's ride the wings
Of Isis upon the wind
From the valley of the kings
Where the dance began

This will be your land
Prince of ebony
Stars above the desert
Watch over me

Sing a song of Africa
Raise up our voices
And touch the sun

My heart beats strong for Africa
Joy to the child
The gift of the wild
Bring light into this land

I dream of Africa
Children of the ray
I dream of Africa
Your time will come again
Boot upon the river
Take my heart to paradise
Ashes from the fire
Rising high into the sky

Ancient song take
Me back in time

We will dream of Africa
Joy to the children
Let freedom ring

My heart beats strong for Africa
Africa, oh Africa
Give your heart
And spread the word of love
Right across the land

Africa, oh Africa
Talking drums
Are calling us to dance

Send your dreams to Africa
Free as the lion forever more
Dreams are made in Africa

Sing a song of Africa
My heart beats strong for Africa
