Title: Mama Afrika
Post by: Ras_Kwame on May 31, 2005, 02:24:14 AM
Afrika! Mama Afrika!
Great is your love and mercy
Afrika! Mama Afrika!
Wonderful are your carings for  your childern
You house the mightest oh Mama
The bravest live within your boundary
So do the fastest
You also house the largest and most exotic creatures

None is braver than your Lion
None is faster than your little son, the Cheetah
Who on land is larger than your Elephant?
And who is taller than the Giraffe?
Who among the dwellers of the forests
Is more beautiful than the Zebra?

Who is more longsuffering than you oh Mama?
Who is more forgiving than you oh Mama?
None!
And none again.
Let all of the children of this graceful Mother
Join the birds of her air and sing her a joyful song
The Sahara, the Nile, the Killimanjaro
The savanah and the rainforests all expresses her beauty
Out of her womb all this original Afrikans spring forth from

Afrika! Mama Afrika!
You're ever beautiful oh Mama
More of your beauty is reveal daily
More of your treasures you reveal daily to your children
Your wisdom is yet to be learnt and thought to your children
