You are an African Queen.
Let your roots be the glow over your brazen soul.
You are peculiar to the soil.
Peculiar to a continent that holds history worth abiding.
A history that tell tales of hope.Hope unfathomable.
You are an African Queen.
Hold your head up high towards the horizon.
See where wisdom meets knowledge.Wisdom unfathomable.
You are an African Queen.
Swing your hips as you dance to a song unsung.
Move to the rhythm of pain,
As you break into a dance of Potency.A dance unfathomable.
You are an African Queen.
Just like the Livingstone Lourie,
Wear your crown with pride.
Wear your color without remorse.
Show it off to inspire.
Wear it high and might to appease the subdued.
You are an African Queen.
So do what we do best;
And dance towards an indistinct pulse.
Dance towards the drums of doom.
Dance towards the mountain’s reefs.
Dance towards the troubled waters.
Dance African Queen.
Dance for the power of the soil,
The power of the crown,
The power of many words unspoken.
Dance African Queen, Dance.
DANCE TO THE RHYTHM OF LIFE.
entered in the one of your best contest.
