This song is available on Lauren Mayer's Winter Songs.

CHORUS:
Part A:
Celebrate Kwanzaa – and make the world a better place
It’s time for Kwanzaa – well-­‐being, justice and peace
Celebrate Kwanzaa – African American culture
It’s time for Kwanzaa - well-­‐being, justice and peace

Part B:
Kwanzaa means First Fruits
From African harvest festivals With seven principles
The Nguzo Saba
Kwanzaa lasts seven days
Starting December 26
Focused on seven principles – and here’s what they are
Umoja means unity
Kujichagulia – self determination
Ujima – responsibility
Ujamaa –community
Nia – bring good to the world
Kuumba – creativity
Imani – the faith of our ancestors

Have a karahmoo, light the kinara, And everyone say “Harambee!”

(repeat Chorus)
