Dark skinned and gifted,
high on all my ideas and imaginations.
All that keeps me forever lifted.
Brightness in my smile,
ten thousand years of wisdom behind my eyes.
Like the motherland I live in,
dearest mother has birthed a precious child.
Kissed by the African sun,
always dreaming under it's moon.
It dawns on my pride,
as I rest in it's afternoon.
You're worth is the worthy one
you have inside.
Hold onto that,
carry with it your African Pride.

Dark skinned and gifted,
high on all my ideas and imaginations.
All that keeps me forever lifted.
Brightness in my smile,
ten thousand years of wisdom behind my eyes.
Like the motherland I live in,
dearest mother has birthed a precious child.
Kissed by the African sun,
always dreaming under it's moon.
It dawns on my pride,
as I rest in it's afternoon.
You're worth is the worthy one
you have inside.
Hold onto that,
carry with it your African Pride.
