Africa Rebirth

AFRICA REBIRTH The black daughter of the ancient gods Once prophesied the saviour of the world She never lived her dream Nor strive to strike her goals Went to sleep after the priest gave his message Waiting on the gods to build her empire Left her walls unguided for strangers to tear Strange gods brought imposed on her Fed fat with foreign diets Her sons she exchanged for cheap tobacco And her daughters Traded for fragile mirrors. Spooned with crumbs from her abundance Her treasures looted while she was Fed fat and made to forget her history Beads of sanity replaced with shackles tagged fashion Humanity killed and selfishness adorned as capitalism Stripped of her royalty and glorified in her nakedness Who could believe the ancient Princess now lives as pig Her warriors now mount the gate in foreign land Made to build and mend walls of strangers Sweat rewarded in glorified notes Notes that drains and lures her children filter away Wake up dear old princess The pride of the Black world Chisel out your uniqueness It is in you as of old Shed the burden of corruption Burn out the excess negligence of many decades Let the new Princess emerge The bride the world awaits Take up the throne of your ancient ancestors Let the prophecy be fulfilled Bring back the old glory Arise and let the world be electrified The long awaited Princess is you The pride and the bride of the Black kingdom Here comes the long awaited future Emerge o ye Africa
