Light Up the Light

All over Africa
Children sing this song
They know me as Margaret Mcingana
Lady Africa

There's a spark
Glowing in the dark
All it needs is a flame

Light the light
So clear and bright
And you will seize me
That's all the children need to know
Before they close the door and go
Light up the light
And show the way

That's all the children need to know
Before they sail the shore and go
(Light light the light) Light up the light
And show the way

Lalaaaah (Lalaaaah)
Lala laaaaah (Lalaaaah)
Lalaaaah (Lalaaaah)
Lalala laaaaah

Nanto ke
Seliphakama
Libonga
UMdali
Umoya
Uvunguza
Phansi
Kwal'ilanga

Likhanyisel'abantwana
Baphum'endlini badlale
Ngokukhanya
Kwal'ilanga
Baphum'endlini badlale
Besasebonke njalo nje
(Light light light the light) Ngokukhanya
Kwal'ilanga

Baphum'endlini badlale
Besasebonke njalo nje
(Light light light the light) Ngokukhanya
Kwal'ilanga

Baphum'endlini badlale
Besasebonke njalo nje
(Light light light the light) Ngokukhanya
Kwal'ilanga
