africa's joy

i'm brown in my color i'm free in my mind my spirit soars my laughter roars i'm not a ghost i'm the host this is my fury it taste of sweet curry my stars are all in place my head is pointed at the sun i know i'm free to run the joy of africa indeed the sweet beginning of my colored seed strong proud and beautiful i'll grow the sun will shine the moon will glow my heart feels like a child with toy i know who i am and that's africa's joy
