Africa
Africa proud and strong
Sit on land and mighty seas
Her breast is rich and eyes so bright
Her children dance but not in peace
Queen sitting on great throne
Her treasured land lay bare and fallow
Her wayward sons prefer to borrow
To nurse there greed and wicked deeds
Mama Africa cry no more
Your golden crown will never crack
Mama America and Europe though console
But their children played the dingy song
Your children danced an unwise dance
