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
