AFRICA

Beautiful mama
The beauty of the world
Envy of the fair
Black is beautiful

Natural....
Cultural....
Loving....
Loyal....

You are kind
You are patient
Unknown to you
Unseen slave you've become

How long shall you sleep?
How soon shall you wake?
How far have you gone?
How great you were born to win

Your beauty lies within you
Your duty awaits you
Rise from your slumber
Be the giant

Stand out oh sweet mother
Stand tall oh Africa
Be yourself
Take responsibility.
