Osagefo Nkrumah, Black Star of Africa

Your promise brought a vision

So they followed your decision.

Osagefo Nkrumah, Black Star of Africa.

When your plans began to show,

seed on rock just would not grow.

Kakra, kakra akawkaw benum nsu!

Slowly, slowly the hen will drink water

Nature tells the new born daughter

Then cockrell's plumage changes colour

Red, Green and yellow, now much duller.

Osagefo Nkrumah. Black Star of Africa.

Asa bone nkum assase!

Bad dancing will not harm the ground

Many have tried but that's what they have found.

But honest effort is one thing

Kwame was not born to be a King.

Obra ye okon, Life is War!

We struggle hard to feed eachother

Akan, Ewe, Northern Brother

But our arms must fight the soils

Not eachother for the spoils.

Osagefo Nknumah, Black Star of Africa

Your promise brought a vision

So they followed your decision

When your plans began to show

Seed on rock just would not grow

Osagefo Nkrumah, Black Star of Africa.
