I Am An Africa
I am a soldier of my land,
a defender of the earth.
The heavens above as the,
showers to quench the soil.
But when it has been tamed,
the fish-eagle soars to the sky.
My spirit runs free here,
I am an African born.
A home to many people,
home to many a tongue.
The sweet scent of veld,
grass in the air.
The tang of a red soil on my,
tongue.
The majesty of the stinkwood,
as it basks in the African,
sun.
Calls me home,
yes it calls me home.
