I am a child
I'm an African child
I am a child
I'm an African child
I am vulnerable; yet I'm able to make it against odds
If you stand up for the African child.
I am a child
I'm an African child
I am a child
I'm an African child
I am vulnerable; yet I'm able to make it against odds
If you stand up for the African child
To the future and life of the girl child
Stand up in solidarity Mother Africa
How can you force a child like me to get married to an old man
Stand up Africa!
Protect your children
I am a child
I'm an African child
I am a child
I'm an African child
I am vulnerable; yet I'm able to make it against odds
If you stand up for the African child
We've come this far
And we ain't going back
Stand against child marriage
It destroys a child
How can you force a child like me to get married to an old man
Stand up Africa!
Protect your children
I am a child
I'm an African child
I am a child
I'm an African child
I am vulnerable; yet I'm able to make it against odds
If you stand up for the African child
It's time to speak up
Lets make it clear
We won't stand by
And let the girls live in fear
Forced to marry young
Won't let them make 18 years
Truth is raw
I'm just trying to make it clear
Age is nothing but a number
That's what they say
But when it comes to little ones
It's not ok
To rob them off their youth
The chance to grow and play
We can't let this practice carry on
Not today
