Waka Waka (This time for Africa)

1. sing the song!

You’re a good soldier
Choosing your battles
Pick yourself up and dust yourself off
Get back in the saddle
You’re on the front line, everyone’s watching
You know it’s serious, we’re getting closer
This isn’t over

The pressure’s on; you feel it
But you got it all; believe it
When you fall, get up, oh oh
And if you fall, get up, eh eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa
Cause this is Africa

Your time to shine, don’t wait in line

No hesitation

Today’s your day; I feel it
You paved the way; believe it
