[Intro]
[Verse 1]
From the Sahel to the Cape, the sun begins to shine,
A future built on hope, with every step aligned.
The World Bank stands beside us, with vision bold and wide,
Together we are rising, with dignity and pride.
[Chorus]
Rise Africa, rise! Let your heartbeat shake the skies.
From power grids to schools, we build where promise lies.
With every hand extended, and every voice that tries,
Africa, oh Africa, rise!
[Verse 2]
Jobs for every youth, and justice in the land,
Electric lights in villages, dreams at our command.
From Dakar to Dar es Salaam, the winds of change expand,
With knowledge, funds, and courage, we rise and take a stand.
[Bridge]
No longer bound by silence, no longer held by fear,
We shape our own tomorrow, the vision now is clear.
With Mission 300 lighting paths, and IDA drawing near,
Africa’s pulse is beating strong, the world begins to hear.
[Final Chorus]
Rise Africa, rise! Let your stories fill the skies.
With the World Bank by our side, we’ll break the old disguise.
From hardship into harmony, from struggle into prize,
Africa, oh Africa, rise!
[Outro]
