Let's Still See a Brighter Africa

With these ills still trailing and tormenting us
Let's be willing and good hearted 
For it is our stubborness that will improve our course
We know of the people who have given up
And have fled to other regions to sojourn
But we have stood foward.
We should continue to convince our misguided or unfortunate fellows
For it is only the enlightened and th goodhearted
That our continent relies on.
Let's not give up in our quest
So that it will be known when it is all over 
That we were in the side of Africa
As we have known those who are before us.
We must continue to fire the flame of hope
For it is hope that will allow young ones to join our course
We need them
Friends let's still see a brighter Africa.
