Only On the Coasts of Africa

Give me the horn to blow The shores of sand and sun While the birds sing and fly The children run and jump Give me the net to fish The seas of the brave While the canoes hoist their flags The men drag their nets Give me the tune for the African melody The smoke of the fire are here While the women prepare the catch The family gathers by the fire side Give me the coasts of Africa The entrance of the love While the mighty still stands The people will mend the nets of peace
