The land of my fathers and ancestors
That holds my bloodied umbilical cords
The land that is farther than my eyes sees
Africa,bounded by sandy deserts,forests and wavy seas
Am proud that i come from and belongs to you
In you,are embedded histories of my birth and youth
The land of the wollofs,yorubas,berbers and zulus
Igbos,hausas,mandigos,masais,hutus,tutsis and bantus
Numerous tongues,different languages and beautiful cultures
Smiling skies,dancing trees, lands you nurture
The land of great warriors,fighters,technology wizards
You have been brutalized,colonized and apartheid
Your seeds are scattered abroad in diverse and distance lands
Representing Africa in different ways they can
One day i will tell my descendants,with all my heart
Wonderful tales of Africa,the land of my birth
