Mama Africa

Real African Woman! True African Woman! Free born African Woman! Divine touch of finest hands Long hair, steady eyes, dark brows, And catchy looks Free born African woman The envy of the universe I thougt it was all rumour I took it to be fantasy As i slumbered in the comfort of your belly, then i thought it was a dream When the winds mumured your goodness When the vultures plotted against you And when the earth paid you tribute Oh! Fearless woman of the forest You stood the storms and tides And each thought of me, Triggered hope and courage This free born African woman With sunken jaws and painful limbs With fallen breast in her tattered clothing Has sworn to bravery and courage And has crushed all her adversaries But now a fallen heroen, That needs to become sober After being injected with the cobra's venom That which forcefully harshed me from your womb Oh free born African woman I wish to hear your tale Rebuild your strength again, And walk along with me, let me be your armor and light your lamb at night.
