Africa

AFRICA
Welcome to Africa,
Land of peace and joy
Sun and rain 
That gives birth
 To winter, summer and spring
We dance and sing
Hold on to each other
Love visitors and friends
For that’s what we are 

Welcome to Africa 
Where work is an obligation 
Where entertainment is a necessity
Where giving birth is no problem
Where love and beauty are found

For in Africa we sing and dance
We love and welcome
We brighten and soften hearts
We are tender and loving 
For that’s who we are
Africans with loving hearts.
