In Africa’s cradle, beneath endless skies,
Lucy rose where the first light lies.
Her ancient bones, a timeless key,
Unlock the roots of you and me.
.
From Africa’s heart, our journey began,
Dreams carried by woman and man.
Through mountains crossed and oceans wide,
We lit the spark, side by side.
.
Though borders rose and hate divides,
Our shared beginnings never hide.
The same first breath, the same first star,
No walls too high, no place too far.
.
Alone, we go faster; together, we thrive.
In unity’s warmth, humanity’s alive.
Let love and peace guide what we do,
For we are many—and yet, we are one, too.
