Early morning birds chirping Singing melody’s of peace Looking out into the forest I see beauty in your face Africa has a smell that no one can erase A smell that echos love into your soul Life so simple, life so inspiring and incredible Don’t believe what the discovery channel told you about a land that existed before any other Africa the mother of the earth Birthing billions of souls who left it but still live in it It’s blood runs deep in our souls Skin shades might change but our roots are deep Within When Africa cries we feel it’s pain When Africa smiles we rejoice with pure joy Colonizers tried to change it but it changed them They stole its music, passion, material good, it’s minerals, traditions, and norms Taking even its greatest queens and kings Tribal men and women They tried to **** its joy but it still smiled through the pain Enslaving it’s people still couldn’t **** it existence Africa Birthed in resistance and molded by resilience, inspired by diligence, fueled by consistence We are strong, powerful, and courageous Africa the birthplace of the human race With our palms pressed let’s say Grace As we pray for peace
