[Refrain]
Africans must be free
By the year, hey, nineteen eighty-three
When I an' I people shall rejoice
On the hills of Mount Zion
[Verse 1]
African must be free
By the year, hey, nineteen eighty-three
We have worked too hard for the white man
In the blazing sun (Woah!)
No more war, no more beating
No more slavery, no more brutality (Yeah!)
[Verse 2]
Africa must be free
By the year, hey, nineteen eighty-three
I am think it’s time
For us to live a better life (Yeah!)
Freedom is what we want in Africa (Freedom!)
Freedom is what we want in Africa
[Refrain]
Africans must be free
By the year, hey, nineteen eighty-three
When I an' I people shall rejoice
On the hills of Mount Zion
