We live in an era of extremity
Poverty and hunger for our people
People of Africa - it is fact and has been
A truth said at the right time

Everything seems possible for the rich
Mighty selfishness and hate
Me, me, me mentality
At the expense of the poor

Poverty – why poverty and hunger?
Is it a crime to be an African?
Our people are suffering and dying
Looking into the blank future

Oh this world we live in
Promises have been made
Declarations to make poverty history
Signatures of no excuses. 2015.

It has been with us from the beginning
The right hour has come to eradicate poverty in Africa
The true hour of Africa at hand
Solidarity and love needed

A time for keeping the promise
Our voices out against poverty
We are a great generation, with a challenge and great history to make
-To end poverty in its totality-

From East to West, we are building a bridge
Reconnecting for our continent
Time to chart our destiny here
To achieve liberation with our seeds

Sowing seeds for Africa
A time of rebirth with fire of our youth
The morning is set to set the sun
Reconciliation through our blood

Our generation keens to make history
Knowledge for our weaponry
Right representation of our marvels and potentials
Cause it take knowledge to raise a child

Our journey is destined for this destination
A new dawn tagged freedom
Time to build a new society
Of truth and trust imbibed

Get ready for a new communion
Our direction is the crooked way
Without borders we rule our world
Ready to free our minds of poverty

It’s a dawning of a new day for Africa
A time to dance into the middle Millennium!
Dawn for liberation and development
Hoping to understand and action time.
