Pride of Africa

I'm proud to be an African To be born of the race of blacks For the blood runs in my heart It seize not in times of plight Even in the face of war I disown not the name of yours For am like a Christ of Nazareth Where those believeth not expect less For it is my father's land And the tongue of my mother's I embrace the pain of your fate Of which the whites made you taste But in all I've come Out of the conquer of yours Oh!Africa It is you i adore Blessed be you more
