Heart Of Africa

Lyrics

[Intro] Drums in the distance, fire in the sky, Feet on the earth and the spirits rise high, From the desert winds to the ocean blue, The rhythm of Africa is calling you. [Chant] Hey-ya hey-ya, ho-ya hey! Hey-ya hey-ya, ho-ya hey! Sa-le yo, sa-le yo, Ma-ya na, ma-ya na! [Verse 1] Golden sunrise on the savannah land, Mountains and rivers moving hand in hand, Stories in the stars, echoes in the night, Dancing through the darkness into morning light. [Pre-Chorus] Feel the drum beat under your feet, Every heart and every street, One rhythm, one soul, one flame, Calling every voice by name. [Chorus] Africa, Africa, move with the sound, Heartbeat rising from the ground, Turn it up and lift your hands, Dance together across the lands. Africa, Africa, feel the fire glow, Ancient rhythm in the modern flow, Round and round the spirits fly, Underneath the endless sky. [Chant Break] Ho-ya na! Ho-ya na! Eh-yo sa! Eh-yo sa! Ma-le hey! Ma-le hey! Hey-ya ho! Hey-ya ho! Leader: “Can you hear the drum?” Crowd: “We hear the drum!” Leader: “Can you feel the ground?” Crowd: “We feel the ground!” [Verse 2] City lights shining, villages awake, Every step a rhythm, every move a wave, Voices in harmony, rising with the beat, Millions of stories dancing in the heat. [Build] Raise your voice, let the night unfold, New stories written from the old, Hands to the sky, let the music run, Many hearts moving as one. [Drop / Dance Section] Hey-ya hey-ya, ho-ya hey! Sa-le yo, sa-le yo! Hey-ya hey-ya, ho-ya hey! Ma-ya na, ma-ya na! Africa! Africa! Africa! Feel the rhythm rise! [Outro] From the earth, from the sea, from the open skies above, The beat keeps moving with hope and love, When the drums call out, we answer the sound, The heartbeat of Africa goes round and round. [Final Chant] Hey-ya hey-ya, ho-ya hey! Sa-le yo, sa-le yo! Ho-ya na, ho-ya na! Africa… Africa… Africa…
