SET THAT FIRE
Daughter of Africa,
Set that fire ablaze within you,
The one they tried to douse with doubt,
The one buried beneath years of silence.
Set it roaring, let it speak for your ancestors,
Who built kingdoms with their bare hands,
Who sang freedom songs under the weight of chains.
Their courage flows in your veins,
Their strength is your inheritance.
Set that fire,
And light up the world with your brilliance.
For every flame you ignite,
You remind them: Africa never dims.
