Fly African Eagle

I'm longing for my people Out there on their own Rooted so deeply In other lands So far from home It's been many years Blood, sweat and tears Since that awful day Chain and bound against your will They took you all away Now fly African Eagle Fly away to the mountains Fly fly away Fly away When the barriers are broken And separation is no more And peace is more than words spoken And families unite as they did before Now fly African Eagle Why don't you fly over the mountains Fly fly away Fly away Fly african eagle Fly away Fly fly away Love to my friends in Nigeria Peace and sowetto Peace in Namibya Or all over Africa I'm thinking of all your suffering While your victory will celebrating I see a new Africa rising And the world is watching Now fly African Eagle Why don't you fly over the mountains Fly fly away Fly away Now fly African Eagle Why don't you fly over the mountains Fly fly away Fly away Come on and fly away Fly away I'm longing for my people Long time they've missed home Rooted so deeply Like someone who's not alone I wanna know how they do it It's a long time they left home Now fly African Eagle Why don't you fly over the mountains Fly fly away Fly away Time to go home now The
