In modesty you became a great leader
In thy grace you led a great nation, the “UNITED NATIONS”
For you were always a hero among the heroes.
You have ensured a legacy
To be envied by many
A legacy that has shown
That the world is one
In race
In thinking
In planning
And Africa
Oh! Africa
Is very proud
Of your leadership
A role model you are to most
To most of all the youth of Africa
You have shown us that anything is possible
That all you need to do, is put your mind to it
For you were always a hero among the heroes.
As you retire, Oh, great African leader
All stand in salute, for they’ll miss you
For in spirit you guided and showed us love
And to all who knew you and to the African continent
For you were always a hero among the heroes.
And as you usher in the new leader
We hope and believe that all will be well
As we also try
To do our best
For the future generations
The strugle continues.
