lyrics

AFRICA IS IN THE WORLD
AFRIKA YEE ......AFRIKA
Is in the world
AFRIKA YEE.....
Its one great land
CENTURIES HAVE PASSED
BUT EVEN IF WE ARE
BURN IN OTHER COUNTRIES
AND WE ALWAYS LIVED THERE
IN OUR HEART THERE WILL BE
THERE WILL FOREVER BE AFRIKA..AFRIKA..

YEHEE HEE HEE HEE.......
YEHEE HEE HEE HEE.......
OUR SKINS AND OUR HEARTS DON’T LIE
OUR SKINS AND OUR HEARTS DON’T LIE

AFRIKA YEE ......AFRIKA
Is in the world
AFRIKA YEE.....
Its one great land

WE CREATED A NEW LIFE FOR OURSELVES A FAMILY THAT BRINGS US
THE WARMTH THAT WE NEED ALL OF THIS HELP TO IMPROVE OUR

CIRCUMSTANCES

BUT WE SHOULDN’T FORGET ABOUT OUR LAND THAT STILL NEED US

AFRIKA YEE ......AFRIKA
Is in the world
AFRIKA YEE.....
Its one great land
