African Child
African child
Born into a struggle
From the young age
He recognises trouble in his community
Growing up into a man
Realising how isolation
Can make him different from
Some people
The colour of his skin
Sometimes create an enemies
He never wish to fight
Home and abroad
He faces challenges that makes
Him either stronger or weaker
Alot of the African child are under pressure
Underrated deprived and forsaken
Yet you can't talk about
The children of the world
With out talking about the
African child
African child
We are rising
Despite the challenges we face
We are getting better
Despite the isolation
We are the future of the world
Despite the neglects we face
We bring happiness and sing
To the world
Despite the hard life we suffer
We refuse to die in pain
Despite the aggression of the world
The human symbol of survival is an
African child
