IAWA ANTHEM
VERSE1
From lands far and near
We congregate under the tree, IAWA
Uniting in words and songs
Rewriting Mama Africa's narratives
Made sacred and praised, archived from ancestral barns of wisdom
VERSE 2
Fish play hide and seek with fisherman
While crocodiles watch closely
In the Mighty rivers of Africa
In the thick forest legendary melodious echo
The light mirrors the beauty of its scars
Telling of life lived and life to come
High up the Kilimanjaro we stand
Looking at Africa's future
We see a continent full of hope
The erection of United States of Africa
Bringing the diaspora home
The land of honey and milk, not milk and honey
Yes, we do things differently here
CHORUS
IAWA changing the narrative
Let Mama Africa rise
Uniting in words and in song
IAWA changing the narrative
Let Mama Africa shine
Telling the tales of our land
