Africa

out in the heights of the land i see her children coming, from the banks of the rivers returning it is the children of Africa i see Africa,why do your children kill one another? why do they hate and destroy each other? you that makes wealth for other nations, your children live in abject poverty! you that has it all lacks so much! why do you still wear these shackles of poverty and want? why do you still suffer so much? Africa you can make it if you try! you can achieve greatness because the dream i have of Africa is one of greatness i know that for sure the day of you redemption is close at hand because is see your children coming together loving one another in my dream i see them all gathered around your table to a feast an AFRICAN feast i see them as a strong united front and you Africa enjoying the love of your children arise now oh Africa!for the season of your greatness has come and Africa,you shall live forever in the glory of you children!
