The Land of Plenty.

Africa, land of plenty, and riches, Copper, gold, uranium and salt But the heart of Africa, is its people Traveling far over caravan routes Across the plains and heat stricken desert Camels carrying tremendous loads Just to find that Oasis in the sky Snow-capped mount of Kilimanjaro A wonderful sight, a splendour of splendours Where summer months, and winters are completely dry The Equator? Rain falls all year round Africa continues to grow New towns arise from the dusty ground Along with their cultures and languages And learning how to live for just another day Tiny huts and youngsters hard at work Breaking their hearts for us to look and buy Banging on metal or working with clay Craftsmen wanting to work for the day Just to earn enough for their family to eat, not play Traditional dance, part of everyday life, Festivals, religious celebrations and rites Africa, land of plenty
