Fly African Eagle

I’m longing for my people
Out there on their own
Rooted so deeply
In other lands
So far from home
It’s been many years
Blood, sweat and tears
Since that awful day
Chain and bound against your will
They took you all away
Now fly African Eagle
Fly away to the mountains
Fly fly away
Fly away
When the barriers are broken
And separation is no more
And peace is more than words spoken
And families unite as they did before
Now fly African Eagle
Why don’t you fly over the mountains
Fly fly away
Fly away
Fly african eagle
Fly away
Fly fly away
Love to my friends in Nigeria
Peace and sowetto
Peace in Namibya
Or all over Africa
I’m thinking of all your suffering
While your victory will celebrating
I see a new Africa rising
And the world is watching
Now fly African Eagle
Why don’t you fly over the mountains
Fly fly away
Fly away
Now fly African Eagle
Why don’t you fly over the mountains
Fly fly away
Fly away
Come on and fly away
Fly away
I’m longing for my people
Long time they’ve missed home
Rooted so deeply
Like someone who’s not alone
I wanna know how they do it
It’s a long time they left home
Now fly African Eagle
Why don’t you fly over the mountains
Fly fly away
Fly away
Time to go home now
The
