In the lands yonder Beyond the thrones of Europe and the bustle of the West There is a land It is quiet and peaceful The sun shines everyday The people are black In the lands yonder Beyond the industrial buzz and dense smoke There are a peaceful people in a land Its rivers traverse the lands From one end to the other Its waterfalls are wondrous Its caves adventurous There is the land Whose people dont worry Their simplicity is baffling They never hurry There is the land Whose people sit on gold mines and diamonds unexploited There is more to life for these people From days of old They understood the balance of nature Before Carl's nomenclature In the lands yonder Snow caps mountain tops Elephants and Buffalloes run the Savannahs Wildebeests migrate in wonder In the lands yonder The birds sing in hapiness The lions roar in jungles The lands are rich The peoples cultures are rich too They were once thought dunders Plans were made to invade and plunder Those were the worst blunders They fought for equality They fought for their rights Adowa 1896 Apartheid 1994 MauMau 1954, and more They died for their land This is the land of peace This is the land of wealth And nature's bounty This is Africa

There Is A Land
In the lands yonder Beyond the thrones of Europe and the bustle of the West There is a land It is quiet and peaceful The sun shines everyday The people are black In the lands yonder Beyond the industrial buzz and dense smoke There are a peaceful people in a land Its rivers traverse the lands From one end to the other Its waterfalls are wondrous Its caves adventurous There is the land Whose people dont worry Their simplicity is baffling They never hurry There is the land Whose people sit on gold mines and diamonds unexploited There is more to life for these people From days of old They understood the balance of nature Before Carl's nomenclature In the lands yonder Snow caps mountain tops Elephants and Buffalloes run the Savannahs Wildebeests migrate in wonder In the lands yonder The birds sing in hapiness The lions roar in jungles The lands are rich The peoples cultures are rich too They were once thought dunders Plans were made to invade and plunder Those were the worst blunders They fought for equality They fought for their rights Adowa 1896 Apartheid 1994 MauMau 1954, and more They died for their land This is the land of peace This is the land of wealth And nature's bounty This is Africa
Proud to be an African
