No denial. We professed it
We declared, produced and proclaimed humanity
It is our incentives, our signatories
Our voices – our visions
Spoken for our advantage for generations unborn
Committed ourselves This Day to sustainable people
We said what interests the mothers
Interests the fathers, youth and children even yet unborn
It really interests us, fathers!
Stating the records straight
We took a bow as we prepared ourselves for tomorrow
Today begins our generation next
We conclude to be good citizens first
To empower ourselves against poverty
Think freely and be self – reliant
For ourselves, to live healthy
Get education and possess skills
On our own beat, we commit ourselves
To speak out against corruption
Enhance discuss on HIV/AIDS
Enable PLWA stay free for stigma
And mobilize in the fight against AIDS
We promised and are committed
On the young people’s part – we dedicate ourselves
To develop our skills and be capable
Towards the vision of Africa rebirth
Africa renaissance of our own
Since we have a mandate to deliver
In nation building but we need something?
We need space to role out our actions
Parking space in national participation
Regional, global and decision – making
Mainstream us elders, we plead, we solicit
Inside the inner caucus of governance
Give us some mantle of leadership in 21st century of youth
Pay attention to our charter and ratify same
Documented by youth with you for youth
We need your mentoring support and encouragement
To feel belonged to this one platform
For us to work harder – my youth statement
We are contributing to the making and heating of this polity
True emancipation of this land soiled by corruption
Because on our part, we promised to deliver
We are dedicated to promote democracy of truth
Installing good governance with us and within us
Ensure active participation, transparency and respect for law
Encode fairness, efficiency and due process
Promote accountability and freedom
Help eradicate diseases and human right mitigation
We support you and are for Africa renaissance
We see a bright Africa free from poverty led by youth
We want to become effective leaders by example
We want to make something of ourselves with you
We are committed to the realization of our dreams
Our aspirations is first for Africa
Globalization with human face
Peaceful atmosphere unsoiled by the musk!
