Africa Say

When will the last of your dictators die So you can stop living a lie To speak through God’s window For the world your wisdom to follow When will you start to shine Like the gold and diamond you mine Africa this day – lets be one commerce Trade in love for one another and acceptance When will your cultures evolve So that our people can start to thrive And all can listen to your brighter tomorrow So we can be known for more than just our sorrow When will more of your women get involved So we can show humanity what it is to lead When will their unrewarded toil Allow them a share in the price of oil When will we unite over borders we didn’t create Because to the world we’re the same crete When will we brand an optimistic lasting impression Of Africa’s true, innovative and talented expression When will we start to lead the way Not just once a year on the 25th of May But show interest in all that we do, we are everyday When will Africa have a say, on Africa Day?
