Chorus
Kwanzaa, let’s sing a song of Kwanzaa for you and me
Kwanzaa, let’s sing a song of Kwanzaa
Kwanzaa, let’s sing a song of Kwanzaa for you and me
Kwanzaa, let’s sing a song of Kwanzaa

Verse
Umoja is unity in family, community, nation and race
Kujichagulia is do all you can see to name, create and speak for ourselves
Ujima’s responsibility to build and work together to solve problems for us all
Ujamaa is money to achieve our stores, shops and business for growth

Pre-Chorus
Kwanzaa teaches hope for those we’re living for
Kwanzaa shows us we can be all that we dream and more

Chorus
Kwanzaa, let’s sing a song of Kwanzaa for you and me
Kwanzaa, let’s sing a song of Kwanzaa

Verse
Nia is our purpose, so we believe we’ll build a new tomorrow for our community
Kuumba is creativity, so, show us everything you dream
Imani is faith in you and me that our people, parents, teachers will lead our victory
Now you know the principles we seek, so be proud of who you are and sing

Chorus
Kwanzaa, let’s sing a song of Kwanzaa for you and me
Kwanzaa, let’s sing a song of Kwanzaa
Kwanzaa, let’s sing a song of Kwanzaa for you and me
Kwanzaa, let’s sing a song of Kwanzaa
