He was born in the African dawn
And orphaned to the land
So gentle in the eye he was
As any woman's child

Afrika kukhala abangcwele
E Afrika kukhala abangcwele wena
Afrika kukhala abangcwele
E Afrika kukhala abangcwele wena
Hlala
Hlala

As he grew people told him son
Don't you trust anyone
You learn how to trust a stone
This is not gentle and then it breaks those
Who never learned how to be alone

Afrika kukhala abangcwele
E Afrika kukhala abangcwele wena
Afrika kukhala abangcwele
E Afrika kukhala abangcwele wena
Hlala
Hlala

And so he walked in the fashion of his lands
Until at last he cried out
Can anybody hear me, hear me
Hear the song in my heart
There's a song to be sung that can heal these broken men
Let us sing and we'll walk through the dark
Hand in hand
Hand in hand

Afrika kukhala abangcwele
E Afrika kukhala abangcwele wena
Afrika kukhala abangcwele
E Afrika kukhala abangcwele wena
Hlala

Afrika kukhala abangcwele
E Afrika kukhala abangcwele wena
Afrika kukhala abangcwele
E Afrika kukhala abangcwele wena

Afrika kukhala abangcwele
E Afrika kukhala abangcwele wena
Afrika kukhala abangcwele
Afrika kukhala abangcwele wena

Afrika kukhala abangcwele
Afrika kukhala abangcwele wena
Afrika kukhala abangcwele
Afrika kukhala abangcwele wena
