We Are The Waters Of Africa
We are the waters of Africa!
Born with nature's agility
Fed with nature's regality
Our tongue speaks our identity
And we are known abroad
In the way we pronounce our names.
We are the waters of Africa!
Our skin colours bring variety to our world.
It adds rizz and tranquility to our beholders.
It blends with the Earth and leaves no doubt of its origin.
We are the waters of Africa!
Our proud nature is seen in our hair
Our footsteps breed thunder like the three leprosy men.
We are the terror of the world, feared by many yet loved by all.
We are the waters of Africa!
Our history is written on our skins,
Of how many lashes we endured, and how many chains we fought lose in our quest for freedom.
Of how many rivers we'd crossed and of how many white man's land we'd cultivated.
We are the waters of Africa!
We brood on different soil yet not consumed.
We crossed different oceans yet not drawn.
The way our waters sing our names was the way we found our way home.
We are the waters of Africa, unbound and unchained.
