Africa Two Paths

Historic Africa dabbled in darkness Long for a glimpse of the light, Try to learn from past mistakes, One day will make those lessons right. Write all deeds that were wrong Setting visions in dreams alight, A cure will come to make us strong, It will never be too late to make right. Truth waits in the unknown silence With barriers built around, When sought for the right entrance, In the paths where knowledge is found. Dwells the future of glory for Africa Beyond where present suffering abounds, The Children to come will find Mana, Ocean of water in mighty waves surrounds. Fear, not the past unhealthy cry, hear the uprise from underground commence, for recompense demise, our heroes die Multitudes now stand in their place. The distant future is unknown to man But God knows the destiny of everyone Time revealed in glimpses of vision, No realms on earth dare to stand alone.
