Hail! United States of Africa!    

Hail! United States of Africa!

Hail! United States of Africa-free! Hail! Motherland most bright, divinely fair! State in perfect sisterhood united, Born of truth; mighty tliou shalt ever be. Hail! Sweet land of our father's noble kin! Let joy within thy bounds be ever known; Friend of the wandering poor, and helpless, thou, Light to all, such as freedorn's reigns within.

From Liberia's peaceful western coast To the foaming Cape at the southern end, There's but one law and sentiment sublime, One flag, and its emblem of which we boast. The Nigerias are all united now, Sierra Leone and the Gold Coast, too. Gambia, Senegal, not divided, But in one union happily bow.

The treason of the centuries is dead, All alien whites are forever gone; The glad home of Sheba is once more free, As o'er the world the black n-tan raised his head. Bechuanaland, a State with Kenya, Members of the Federal Union grand, Send their greetings to sister Zanzibar, And so does laughing Tanganyika.

Over in Grand Mother Mozambique, The pretty Union Flag floats in the air, She is sister to good Somaliland, Smiling with the children of Dahomey. Three lusty cheers for old Basutoland, Timbuctoo, Tunis and Algeria, Uganda, Kamerun, all together Are in the Union with Nyasaland. We waited long for fiery Morocco, Now with Guinea and Togo she has come, All free and equal in the sisterhood, Like Swazi, Zuduland and the Congo.

There is no state left out of the Union- The East, West, North, South, including Central, Are in the nation, strong forever, Over blacks in glorious dominion. Hail! United States of Africa-free! Country of the brave black man's liberty; State of greater nationhood thou hast won, A new life for the race is just begun.
