The African Hope

THE AFRICAN HOPE Cry Africa cry But cry with hope Hope that beyond these senseless wars A ceasefire shall dawn Cry African child But let your crying be filled with hope Hope that when this deadly hunger ends Abundance shall permanently replace it Cry African woman But never let go of your hope Hope that everything is going to be fine And good shall one day conquer evil Cry my beloved motherland But we want to keep alive our hope Hope that the horrifying and terrifying sound of gunshot Shall one day turn into ear tickling drumbeat Cry Africa cry But just keep crying with hope Hope that the tears soaking our faces Shall one day be wiped forever
