I’ve been with you for sometime now 

And I know we’ve got some way to go 

I realize you turned my life around

We’ve got each other to keep from the cold

I have a vision for us
A future for you and me

With a place together
And peace on our own 

That’s how I know it can be

We will have moments
Where there’s trouble and strife

But then that’s all part of our life

People go through these things 

We have to fight to survive

To preserve what we know is right

I have a vision for us
A future of unity 

In this land together
With peace of our own 

Thats how I know we are free

We all should live
With the other side in mind 

On our own its a lonely narrow road


I see a time, where what was lost is found

Where love is unconditional
We’ve come a long way 

Through the ups and downs

And our share of good and bad

(We were falling, fast yeah)

Now as the dawn breaks
And the waters subside

I know the future oh so bright

Africa, stand up, one love, one blood
(I have a vision for us
A future for you and me)

Africa, rise up, one love, one blood

(Thats how I know it can be)

I have a vision for us
A future of unity 

In this land together
With peace of our own 

Thats how I know we are free (2x)

Africa, stand up, one love, one blood

Africa, rise up, one love, one blood

I have a vision for us
A future of unity 

In this land together
With peace of our own 

Thats how I know we are free
