Lyrics

He raced a cheetah got scratched but stayed cool
Beat an Olympian left Tebogo looking like a fool
Drank the cow blood said it taste like it should
Maasai said Nyangulo he's one of us understood
Two thousand dinars he heard dinners instead
Whole Sahara laughing tears of joy shed
Tried the cow balls went back for round two
Jollof in Lagos had him jumping that pepper flew
Hit fifty million birthday in Lagos traffic stopped
Face in the cake tears in his eyes on top
Lion mascot at AFCON eighty thousand screams
This wasn't just a tour this was all our dreams
They stole us in chains across the water wide
Tried to erase the home that lived inside
But you cannot kill what the blood remembers
Four hundred years still burning embers
Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika
Bless every soul finding their way back
Bless the ones who never left
And the ones who carry home inside their chest
We're running home
Through the streets we've never seen but always known
We're running home
Every Black child you are not alone
From the diaspora scattered to the motherland's embrace
We see ourselves in every single face
We're running home
We were never lost now the whole world knows
Viva Africa, Viva
Viva Africa, Viva
We're running home
Running home
Running home
