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!
