Intro
Instrumental (A-E-F#m-D)2x
Let me see the world
Let me hear the cries and fools
Let me drive back to the past times
The past times of Africa...of Africa
But theres Africas big history
The beginnin of Apartheid story
By enslaving blacks of Great Africa,
Under the power of America...America
Refrain
Let the world hear this song
Lets make the Africans belong
Let the virtues unfold
pause
So come on, lets sing out!
Chorus
This is the song of Harmony (The song of Harmony)
The song thats meant for thee

Of Love, Truth and Unity
The song of Harmony
pause ---
The song that sets us free
Sets us free
Spoken: Instrumental [use the verses chords]
Oh Africa my dear Africa
You came from the greatest history
The twilight times of my dear Africa
Chained into the hell-like story
So I lit a candle on you
The candle of new light of hope and freedom
Let this be with you as you go through
Through the brand new Africa yet to come
(Repeat Refrain)
(Repeat Chorus)

I can say to you by song
Apartheid was surely wrong
Africans rights must be strong
Peace on Earth I pray to stay... along
