You are Africa, my love

A standing sentinel

poised to breath life

into every space

you move in

primed to colour the canvas

in upbeat hues

shed light Africa, my love

The morning birdsong

stirs and rouses you

to light the fire, my love

Every day, my love, you are Africa

of the sun-filled fun moments

Every day as you light the fire

you are Africa, my love

that combustion is in you

share, give us more

of that fire, my love

Every day you light the fire

reminding us that

Every day we have a duty

to wake up and refresh

the dreams of our forebears

cast our eyes far into the future

we are working out

the tomorrow we shall hand over

to those yet to come

Every day, my love,

you are Africa.
