We are Ghana

We are everything

They told you about

We are the beautiful dream

They wish to have again, and again

We are the fairytale characters

Who always win in the end

Heroes and heroines — beau idéals

We are the good people

Nothing can divide us;

Politics, tribe, trade, doctrine, greed, religion

Brave men and women

Who fought to be free

Red for their brave blood

That stopped flowing for our sake

Gold for our mineral wealth;

Diamond, gold, bauxite, manganese

Green for our rich forests

Which give us herbage and food

And the Black five-pointed star

For our emancipation from the British colony

Because our lives matter

Just like all free nations

Building a strong foundation of love

And high pillars of culture

Strength. Love. Peace

We are everything they cannot be

The four corners of the nation, not just part

Are as proud as we can be

We are GHANA!

Notes

Ghana is 65 years today. On the 6th of March, 1957, Ghana was the first African country to gain her independence. Our development seems to be in a snail pace but our spirits are still intact. We're not giving up. We pride ourselves in our beautiful culture, hospitable citizens, and peaceful country. “Forward ever, backward never” - Osagefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah
