The pride of Africa
I am born Ghanaian
The tamed wildlife and evergreen forest
The development and democracy
I am born Ghanaian
The hospitality and courtesy
The wealthy history and monument
I am born Ghanaian
The gateway to West Africa
The modern economic history
I am born Ghanaian
The loving people
The educated mind
I am born Ghanaian
The peace and unity
The freedom and justice
I am born Ghanaian
The rich culture
The adventurous descendants
I am born Ghanaian
The music and dance
The proverbs and maxims
I am born Ghanaian
The trade and industry
The production and labour
I am born Ghanaian
The game of football
The entire sporting itinerary
I am born Ghanaian
The conducive environment
The serene atmosphere
I am born Ghanaian
The chiefs and royals
The golden stool and Ashanti kingdom
I am born Ghanaian
The gold and diamond
The manganese and bauxite
I born Ghanaian
The great leaders and freedom fighters
The professionalism
I am born Ghanaian
The great poets and writers
The folklore and storytellers
I am born Ghanaian
So I am!
And proud I am!
I am born Ghanaian…
