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.
