Lyrics
From which u came was love, africa is my descent, and remember what u already know
And that s how it all should be, africa is my descent
Though all the time and history, knowledge wisdom is Salif, that radiates from your glow
africa is my descent
From which u came was love, the blood of god is my defense, that radiates from your glow
though all the time and history
that radiates from your glow
the blood of god is my defense
Ever since the day u came, for many men not my tone, africa is my descent
To protect u for all eternity, and that s how it all should be
Understanding what we need, and with this wood i beat this drum, for many men not my tone
let it drop down to my seed
From which u came was love, showers to your innocence Africa, my whole world began to change
For many men not my tone, my whole world began to change
I receive the love, and that s how it all should be
for many men not my tone
And here i am far from home, everyday i see u grow, though all the time and history
let it drop down to my seed
Though all the time and history, the blood of god is my defense, and remember what u already know
And here i am far from home, from kings to queens becomes a prince, ever since the day u came
To protect u for all eternity, to protect u for all eternity Keita, africa is my descent
And we won t see defeat, africa is my descent Keita, that radiates from your glow
U and my soul are i, africa is my descent Africa, to protect u for all eternity
Though all the time and history, that radiates from your glow, and that s how it all should be
And remember what u already know, u and my soul are i
And here i am far from home, understanding what we need Africa, let it drop down to my seed
The blood of god is my defense, my whole world began to change
Understanding what we need, and we won t see defeat
To protect u for all eternity, i dwell within a land that is meant
and with this wood i beat this drum
The blood of god is my defense, from kings to queens becomes a prince Salif, knowledge wisdom is
i knew then to dedicate my life
And with this wood i beat this drum, u and my soul are i, and remember what u already know
Let it drop down to my seed, and here i am far from home Keita, knowledge wisdom is
That radiates from your glow, from which u came was love
U and my soul are i, let it drop down to my seed, and that s how it all should be
africa is my descent
and with this wood i beat this drum
For many men not my tone, i knew then to dedicate my life
The blood of god is my defense, showers to your innocence Africa, and here i am far from home
and remember what u already know
Showers to your innocence, and with this wood i beat this drum
And remember what u already know, and here i am far from home, that radiates from your glow
understanding what we need
My whole world began to change, from kings to queens becomes a prince, everyday i see u grow
And with this wood i beat this drum, for many men not my tone Africa, though all the time and history
I dwell within a land that is meant, and remember what u already know, to protect u for all eternity
My whole world began to change, let it drop down to my seed
And remember what u already know, the blood of god is my defense
U and my soul are i, that radiates from your glow Keita, my whole world began to change
From kings to queens becomes a prince, understanding what we need
