Amidst poverty and hunger, you will go against all odds to achieve greatness
Though you may not have access to the best kind of education, you will definitely excel if you do not relent in your quest for excellence
Look around you African Child – what can you see?
You can only achieve what you see
What can you see African Child?
Is it what I am seeing?
Boundless opportunities all around
Take another look African Child
You will discover the abundant resources at your disposal to achieve greatness
African Child, look beyond your limitations and be all that you can be
You are destined for greatness
African Child, arise like the sun from the east, shine with splendour, shine above all limiting walls
Shine, African Child
Excel in all your endeavours
Your are destined for greatness
The world awaits your manifestation
Do not let them down
Shine, African Child
Shine on
You are destined for greatness
Shine, African Child
