Diaspora
African diaspora (We need you)
Diaspora
Mama Africa diaspora (We need you)

They took us faraway from home on those ships
Across the ocean
Walking never to be free again
Every field and every thorn
That we remember
Remember

Diaspora
African diaspora (We need you)
Diaspora
Mama Africa diaspora (We need you)

United we stand
We fighted before
Together let's break down the division
Unity is the key
To defend our own integrity
Our dignity
Oh, oh my dear African race

Diaspora (diaspora)
African diaspora (African diaspora)
Diaspora (diaspora)
Mama Africa diaspora (African diaspora)

We need you (Uyoyo)
Our fathers, sacrificed, (Uyoyo)
Shall lead us to the light (Uyoyo)
And we have to unite (our power's the future)
That will be our sacrifice

Bridge [Tiken Jah Fakoly]:

Diaspora
African diaspora (We need you)
Diaspora
Mama Africa diaspora (We need you)

Diaspora (I say rise up, rise up, rise up)
African diaspora (We need you)
Diaspora (Africa is rising)
Mama Africa diaspora (We need you)
