A Pledge To Africa

I pledge to Africa, my continent
Where the sun does not rise or rest
I'm proud to be color of her heritage
I pledge to uphold her cultural prestige
Gliding is the epitome of her beauty
That makes her glow like sunray
People came together like frothy of palmwine
Where the sun decide to smile
Where the earth will never open it mouth
Where heaven and earth collaborate
Where palmwine is serve for unity
Land of peace, land of humanity
Where the dead hide their faces
I'll contribute my quota to her continuous success
Oh Africa! I'm proud to be your child
Africa of treasure land
God bless Africa,
Africa, my Africa
