AFRICA IN TEARS
Africa is in tears from north to souyh
Long salty tears run into the mouth
The child of Africais in despair;
No one to shoulder or to care.
Thousands die from hunger,
Many thousands die in anger
Who will weep but children of the soil
Cry,weep;but do not oil the grief
When tears run dry
Then look up and try!
God wills not that you suffer,
It is your false fear that is a buffer
Become a child of God,feel the breeze
A face like Hajar,without any crease
She watched her son build a nation
You too, Africa, can build a nation
A friend said 'Arab was a slave master'
'Nay' said I, 'He is the son of your sister'
'The slavemasters were those with gold
From mail on body to head in gold'
Forget the past,think of the future
Immerse your hands in soil and water
Plant seeds and watch them sprout
Magnificent sight,it will make you proud
Then Africa will no longer be in tears
Nor will it feel anxiety of fears
For he will have a mandate from God;
A true vicegerent with a song for God
