Welcome to Ghana
The land of our mama
We greet you Ohene & Ohema
For coming from afar
We give you aseda.

Come and see our beautiful people
Come and witness the great culture
Come taste our rich food
Come and experience the hospitality
Come and be Ghanaian.

For this day is an honor
A day which lauds our ancestors
For defeating our own oppressors
For freeing us from chains and captors
Amidst all the pain and dolor.

Hurrah! The slavery days are bygones
And we are now proud gemstones
Standing as Africa’s goldstone
Now we are proud to say sixty-one
For we did not achieve this alone.

Today is a day of freedom
A day of selfdom
A day of wisdom
A day in Africa’s bosom
A day Ghana blossoms.

Oh Grandma Africa
The time has come
For you to accept your daughter Ghana
And nurture her to her prime.

Akpe na mi
Oyi wala don
Na gode
Mahad Sanid
Oshee.
