Amazing Spledour
Amazing Splendor
Buried in the dark continent is my land
here, gorges provide openings
mountains stand as guards
landscapes as shrines of her beauty
Of her treasures the world knows not
Her riches unsavoured
Never touched nor inhabited
A virgin princess she remains
Like an emerald shaded in blue
shining only for the earth below
where her children lie
She spreads her rays
Her womb carries black warriors
scattered over the plateaus
defending her riches and splendor
An envy to all her neighbours
Her heart flows with white sparkling springs
that spill to nurture earth
to give life to the poor and wretch
For she's known no other but life herself
Like an ivory tower she stands
with showers of amazing splendor
Lying serene and in wait
For her children to come home
