Africa unite
Because we're moving right out of Babylon
And we're going to our Father's land, yea-ea

How good and how pleasant it would be, before God and man, yea-eah!
To see the unification of all Africans, yeah!

As it's been said already, let it be done, yeah!
We are the children of the Rastaman
We are the children of the Iyaman


[Verse 2]
So-o, Africa unite
Because the children (Africa unite) want to come home. Yea-ea-eah!
Africa unite

Because we're moving right out of Babylon, yeah
And we're grooving to our Father's land, yea-ea
How good and how pleasant it would be before God and man
To see the unification of all Rastaman, yeah
As it's been said a'ready, let it be done! hmm
I tell you who we are under the sun
We are the children of the Rastaman
We are the children of the Iyaman
[Verse 3]
So-o, Africa unite

Unite for the Africans (Africa unite) a yard!

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
