Green, yellow, and red are now found on the national flags of many African nations. The colour combination was borrowed from the flag of Ethiopia. The Ethiopian flag has influenced the flags of many Pan-African organisations and polities. Except for relative brief periods of influence and occupation by the Kingdom of Italy, Ethiopia remained outside European control during the colonial era by defeating the Italian army at the battle of Adwa, Ethiopia, in 1896, ending the Italian protectorate. As a result, the country drew the admiration of many newly independent states in Africa. The adoption of the Ethiopian national colours by many Pan-African entities is a consequence of this. The first African state to adopt a gold, red and green flag upon independence was Ghana in 1957, designed by Theodosia Okoh
 
I hear the drums echoing tonight 
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation 
She's coming in, 12:30 flight 
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation 
I stopped an old man along the way 
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies 
He turned to me as if to say 
"Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you" 
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you 
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do 
I bless the rains down in Africa 
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had (ooh, ooh) 
The wild dogs cry out in the night 
As they grow restless, longing for some solitary company 
I know that I must do what's right 
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti 
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become 
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you 
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do 
I bless the rains down in Africa Gonna take some time to do the things we never had (ooh, ooh) 
Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you 
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you 
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I bless the rains down in Africa 
I bless the rains down in Africa (I bless the rain) 
I bless the rains down in Africa 
I bless the rains down in Africa 
I bless the rains down in Africa (Gonna take the time) 
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had (ooh, ooh)
