[Intro]
Footsteps on red dust, sunrise in Conakry’s light
I carry a map in my smile, of rivers wide and bright
[Verse 1]
I walk the market lanes where colors bloom like cacao pods
The drums drum my heartbeat, a chorus of ancestral nods
From Labé to Mamou, I hear the stories in the breeze
Proud of the gold in our soil, the strength in our trees
[Pre-Chorus]
Eyes turn like the tide when I lift my head high
They see the pride in Guinea, they feel the sky
[Chorus]
I am Africa’s echo, I am Guinea’s own song
Rooted in the soils of kinship, where we belong
Together we rise, a beacon, bright and true
Belonging is my power, pride in every view
[Verse 2]
Golden horizons over the savanna, the sun’s warm kiss
I wear a crown of corals and thunder, rooted in this bliss
From Faranah to Kankan, our voices weave a thread
A tapestry of unity, in every heart we’ve fed
[Pre-Chorus]
Hands join like rivers when we lift and sing
Unity in our veins, a future we bring
[Chorus]
I am Africa’s echo, I am Guinea’s own song
Rooted in the soils of kinship, where we belong
Together we rise, a beacon, bright and true
Belonging is my power, pride in every view
[Bridge]
Let the drums call forth every child of the plains
Let the cocoa glow remind us of sunshine after rain
We honor our roots, we celebrate our grace
In every mirror, see the continent’s radiant face
[Chorus]
I am Africa’s echo, I am Guinea’s own song
Rooted in the soils of kinship, where we belong
Together we rise, a beacon, bright and true
Belonging is my power, pride in every view
[Outro]
So march with the wind, with the river and the sun
Our heritage shines brighter when we stand as one
