Solidarity Africa

The chains of our heart must shake hands As metals and magnet clings so tight Our fate clings to the marriage of our land So as one body we need to arise and fight. Shadows as soldiers arise our soul to scare Masks as fire frowns at our hope to melt Our image is ours not to flare So as one band let's arise to defend. Aliens want our aged pillar replaced, Friends see our flag as fake Ours’ to make our voice not disgraced So we need to join force to decorate our cake. Rodents without invade our green land Foreign robes sigh at our precious gold Ours’ to hug and kiss our identity card So as a fence let's guard our field of gold. The ingredients in our pot of soup are at variance Members of our body stand as islands Ours’ to spray our friendly fragrance so we can build this tower as a band. As broom sticks we need to glue together, Dirt have risen to dent our hope, Ours’ to sweep them out to yonder So as one family we will live in a clean home. This pot of soup must be cooked Ingredients must live in peace as brothers; Ours’ to make this family hooked So our aroma of love can travel beyond our borders. Our fatherland; built by the aged heroes And fenced with the bricks of peace and dignity Ours’ to protect and not to make it bunch of zeroes With our hands soaked in love and solidarity.
