Africa

Africa! Africa!! Africa!!! What is the pride of a man without freedom? What is the beauty of a woman without a home? What good does friendship produces without trust What is need for food without appetite? What is the need for power without authority? What is the need, crying for a child when there is no womb to the pregnancy? What is the joy of a mother watch her baby being thrown into the pit? I cried out with pain I screamed with agony I shouted dying inside of me Witnessing the killing and shooting of the innocent souls All for the sake of colors Arise Africa! Arise Africa!! Arise Africa!!! For the time is now to cry no more A man does not escape from is shadow Africa a great land of honor and pride Africa the home of great warriors and hero’s The land of our forefathers that springs up honey and flows with milk I will always remember you Africa for your braveness Written and Composed by Dominique (23rd of march 2005)
