Africa:

Mama Africa, The land of my ancestors, How I long to see you smile. Misty waters, Blue skies, Bloody wars. Sad Faces, Starving children, Many victims. A nation no more! Separated by greed. Divided by hate, Connected by tears. Heaven weeps As the night goes cold, Oh mother land. Why are your sorrows so deep? A land of great richness and beauty, Colours and diversity. Mama Africa, The land of my ancestors, My heritage, my birth right. How your sorrows consume me, Shattered souls, Dying nation.
