Lyrics

Johannesburg Lagos Harare Kinshasa
From the Cape to Cairo, we were never meant to be divided
This one's for every soul called foreign
On their own motherland
They say, You're stealing jobs, but the math don't add
How you blame the poor for what the rich already had
Same struggle, same scars, same dust on our feet
Same sun overhead, same hunger to eat
They drew these borders with a ruler and a lie
Now we kill our own while the real thieves pass by
A brother from Zimbabwe, a sister from Mozambique
Trying to survive, trying to breathe, trying to speak
Before the flags, before the lines
Before they taught us yours and mine
We were one drum, one song, one flame
So tell me why we playing this game
One heart, no borders
One love, no orders
No human is illegal
No child of Africa is foreign
Dance with me, my brother
Sing with me, my sister
Ubuntu is the answer
We rise when we rise together
Woza! Woza
Sisonke, we unite
Woza! Woza
No fear tonight
Woza! Woza
Stand up for what's right
Africa, one people
One future, one light
Operation Dudula marching through the streets
Turning fear into a weapon, hate into a beat
Checking papers like they own the law
Making neighbors into enemies with every flaw
Harassing street vendors, shutting clinic doors
Who benefits when the poor wage war
Not the child without a school
Not the worker breaking every rule
Just politicians selling easy blame
While corruption hides behind the flames
Because the enemy was never next door
It's inequality, greed, and so much more
When hope runs dry and justice bends
That's when division finds its friends
One heart, no borders
One love, no orders
No human is illegal
No child of Africa is foreign
Dance with me, my brother
Sing with me, my sister
Ubuntu is the answer
We rise when we rise together
Ayee
No borders in the rhythm
Ayee
No hate in the system
Log drum calling
Walls are falling
Hearts are healing
Africa rising
Build schools, not scapegoats
Create jobs, not chaos
Fix the system, fight corruption
Choose compassion over destruction
Protect the migrant, uphold the law
See humanity before the flaw
Because your accent is not a crime
And your birthplace is not a line
A foreigner today could save your life tomorrow
The hand you reject today
Could be the hand that lifts you from sorrow
One heart, no borders
One love, no orders
No human is illegal
No child of Africa is foreign
Dance with me, my brother
Sing with me, my sister
Ubuntu is the answer
We rise when we rise together
From Soweto to Accra
From Durban to Dakar
No stranger under one sun
No outsider under one star
Africa, remember
We are because we are
One continent
One people
One heart
