Show us your wings African child,
Prove to the world you can fly:
You know you can fly.
Show us your soul African child,
Prove to the sky it is bluer:
You know it is bluer.
Show us your Magic African child,
Prove to the night you are a dream:
You know you are a dream.
Show us your fire African child,
Prove to all you are a dancing flame:
You know you are a dancing flame.

Promises are evil
Mouths open awaiting
To be filled with blood
Sometimes bones
Other times hope
They make you sell
Another man for nickels
They make you
Bury life to avenge the dead
I despise them so
For they demand too much
Often bruising, often enslaving.

Inside our bodies we are Kings and queens
On lofty thrones
Steering life into submission like faithful subjects
Inside our bodies we are the world
Our words are currency
And our actions glory that comes with it
We fly, we drive, we swim—exploring eternity
We crawl, we walk, we flow—becoming forever.
Inside our bodies we are more than clay!
