We are brothers, sons of Africa
Si ndugu, wana wa Africa
Who love each other, with kind hearts
Tunaopendana,na wenye nyoyo karimu.
Who love peace and have warm hearts.
Wapenda amani na na nyoyo karimu.
Our hearts like our being, so big and open, as are our doors.
Nyoyo zetu kama utu wetu, kubwa na wazi, kama ilivyo milango yetu.
Ready to embrace and warm whoever is cold
Tayari kumkumbatia na kumpa joto
He don’t dream of fillin a closet with
Jordans , Pumas or Nikes
Maybe just now and again he’s wishin’ on
gettin’ himself a bike
Seventeen years can seem like fifty
Shouldering more and more
If it ain’t he doin’ for his family
Who’s gonna fill that role
He’s scraped and saved made some money
Got ‘im a ride on that boat
Sea is so green
an it’s easier leavin’
than he would of ever believed.
And he told me…
An accident of birth is how I see it
You could be me, it could be
worse than you think
tryin’ to break outta this
Worse than where you are now
Somewhere lies cloudless skies
Somewhere take me there
World’s wide and I got my pride
I’ll take that dare I’ll take it
Somewhere lies cloudless skies
Somewhere I’ll just glide
Please providence won’t you provide
I’ve got to try
Wind in his face salty greeting
Let’s him know he’s alive
People are dyin’
all around him
tryin’ to make a life
Boy as a man his life in front of him
Itchin’ to get goin’, go explore
Best friend with him
Head of their families
Not about to die poor
Eyes wide open time for steppin’ out
Into the world stake a claim
Who says where we’re born we gotta stay
Who can force ‘em to remain
