Diaspora

African diaspora (We need you)

Diaspora

Mama Africa diaspora (We need you)

Verse 1:

They took us faraway from home on those ships

Across the ocean

Walking never to be free again

Every field and every thorn

That we remember

Remember

Diaspora

African diaspora (We need you)

Diaspora

Mama Africa diaspora (We need you)

Verse 2:

United we stand

We fighted before

Together let’s break down the division

Unity is the key

To defend our own integrity

Our dignity

Oh, oh my dear African race

Diaspora (diaspora)

African diaspora (African diaspora)

Diaspora (diaspora)

Mama Africa diaspora (African diaspora)

Break:

We need you (Uyoyo)

Our fathers, sacrificed, (Uyoyo)

Shall lead us to the light (Uyoyo)

And we have to unite (our power’s the future)

That will be our sacrifice

Bridge:

Chrous:

End:

Diaspora (I say rise up, rise up, rise up)

African diaspora (We need you)

Diaspora (Africa is rising)

Mama Africa diaspora (We need you)
