THE RISING STAR FROM THE GOLD COAST

1. True to your national symbol,

You are the rising star of Africa;

The rising star that cheers our hope;

The rising star for us all to see.



2. Ghana, you have shown the light,

In your quest to walk the democratic path;

Yes, we have seen your light,

That cheers our hope to do the unthinkable.



3. From Nairobi to Harare to Pretoria,

We have seen the rising star from the gold coast;

From Abuja to Banjul to Tripoli,

Your rising star remain visible.



4. Africa can now believe the unbelievable,

That the unthinkable can be done;

Peace, freedom, democracy,

Could reign unfettered, unopposed.



5. No more are we excusable,

To govern as the people decides;

No more are we excusable,

For we have seen the star from the gold coast.
