Mother Africa

Oh! Mother Africa! From the East to the West, from the North to the South of Africa is strife, killings, starvation and poverty Brothers killing brothers And innocent bloods are being shed every day Arise! Mother Africa and save your child. Give hope to the hopeless And strength to the weak Liberty to the oppressed Peace to the restless and succor to the needy From Free town in Sierra Leone to Darfur region in the Republic of Congo. From the Niger Delta region in Nigeria to Monrovia in Liberia From Addis Ababa in Ethiopia to Sudan From Luanda in Angola to Kinshasa in Zaire From Cape Town South Africa to Nairobi Kenya Let there be peace, love, unity and prosperity in the Land Dear Mother Africa! Show us the way and save Africa your beloved child in whom you are Well pleased.
