Greetings from Africa Songtext / Lyric

Children rise, rise
get up now take your stance children
children rise up
take your stance once again now
children rise up
greeting I bring from Africa
lots of love and many thanks to you all
to all sons and daughters of Rastaman
even though we’re on the run try to have a little fun
Jah will guide under the sun
his love and spirit will protect you on
even though we’re on the run try to have a little fun
[chorus]
greeting I bring
from Africa to you all
greetings I bring
from home, from home
greeting I bring
from Zion Tanzania
greetings I bring
to you all
people get up
greetings I bring from Africa
lots of love and many thanks to you all
to all sons and daughters of Rastaman
even though we’re on the run try to have a little fun
Jah will guide you under the sun
his love and spirit will protect you on
even though we’re on the run try to have a little fun
[chorus]
Rap: Salaam nyingi sana kwa WaAfrika wote
waishio nje na ndani ya Afrika.....Jah! Rastafar-I
even though we’re on the run try to have a little fun
Jah will guide you under the sun
his love and spirit will protect you on
even though we’re on the run try to have a little fun
[chorus]
greetings I bring
from Zion Tanzania
to you all brothers and sisters
from Uganda, Kenya and Somalia
from Malawi, Zaire and Zambia
twenty one thousand miles away
and that is a long way, long way from home
from Ethiopia and Elitria
from South Africa and Zimbabwe
from Nigeria and Algeria
