Happy Birthday Africa

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AFRICA

Africa the realm of wealth
Now foreigners discuss your health
Having you is just but our opportunity
And we have to dwell in this unity
It is in this unity that came African Union
Something succulent like an African onion
And yet it is Africa’s re-union.

Yesteryear we fought for our freedom
It was a fight for nothing but our kingdom
Africa the land of milk and honey
Africa the land of silk and money
From Africa’s roof to Africa’s Floor
Love, peace and harmony flow.

Africans let unite, it is African unity
It is not a fright nor are they fights
But call for a flight for flights to our rights
We Africans are delight, for we are in this light
Let love, peace and harmony roll like a wheel
For we all know it is our will
25th May, our birthday
Happy birthday Africa, happy birthday Africans.
