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
