Life’s given me the greatest attraction on the earth

Since my birth I’ve been

Zambia, 60 citizens, Zimbabwe
Know since my birth I’ve been

Since my birth I’ve been the greatest

Come on yall
Since my birth I’ve been the greatest

Since the change I’ve been a prisoner of a prisoner
A free hand as a prisoner
A believer and a teacher

Since my birth I

Since my birth I’ve been the greatest
Say what?

Steed with two healthy feet
Feed my family, the bee
Fayson junior
Born my junior
All life movement here we see

African, you can live again
All over the world
Yes, all over the world
You can live again
All over the world
Yes you can
All over the world
All over the world
Live again
All over the world
Yes, all over the world
All over

Since my birth I’ve been the greatest
Attraction on the earth
I’ve been so much more than all the world and its worth
Life’s given me the greatest attraction on the earth
I’ve been so much more
I’ve been a prisoner of a prisoner
The free hand of a prisoner
A believer and a teacher
A Messiah fallen to earth
Since my birth life
All of life

Africa, you can live again
Africa, you can live again
(Don’t worry, don’t worry)
'Cause you can live again

Since my birth I’ve been the greatest
Attraction on the earth
