O' Mother Ghana

O' Mother Ghana O' mother Ghana, how proud am i to be your grand son My skin so black from the burn of the sun For a woman to head a country shows your bravery You won us our freedom from our colonial masters during the slavery You are a brave African black beauty Even at the age of sixty Your red,yellow,green and black wrapper makes you look bold How can you go hungry when you farm cocoa and mine gold Despite your bravery,you are known world wide as a mother of peace Whiles other parents are still struggling for peace O' mother Ghana, embrace us with your warm loving heart Your African cultures will forever dwell in our hearts Gone were the days when those masters called you Gold Coast Now you are an independent woman and with that you can boast You first son the brave intellectual Dr. Kwame Nkrumah And your handsome and beautiful grand children Kofi and Ama You serve as with Banku with grinded pepper,Fufu with Groundnut soup and other delicious meals We love you mother Ghana May you live long O mother Ghana.
