Lyrics of “Africa Arises” by Mo Adegboye & TY BelloÂ
Verse 1
There’s a sound in the air
There’s a light in the land
The shadows are fading
The time is at hand
​Pre-Chorus
From the North to the South
From the East to the West
The breath of the Spirit
Is ending the rest
​Chorus
Africa arise
Your light has come
Africa arise
The day is won
Lift up your head
Zion is calling
Africa arise
​Verse 2
No more shall they call you
Forsaken or lone
For beauty for ashes
The seeds have been sown
​Bridge
We are the ones we’ve been waiting for
Walking through every open door
With fire in our eyes
And grace in our souls
Africa, take your place!
​Chorus
Africa arise
Your light has come
Africa arise
The day is won
Lift up your head
Zion is calling
Africa arise
​Outro
Arise, shine
For your glory is here
Arise, shine
The vision is clear
Africa… Arise!
