Asking people not to give up on this continent
Home-Sweet-Africa

No people have claim to this land
Nor beast exclusivity to her bounty
She is Eve to all mankind

Politics violate her virtue
Sickness and Hunger soldiers of fortune
Race and Religion pawns to expediency

Free from Histories Blame and Guilt
Never forget your rightful place
Nor shy from your Heritage

Cower from Nothing
Cherish this land that lives within
Praise God without Reserve

Warm the soul beneath African suns
Listen to the inner whisper of Savannha winds
As Zambezi waters flow through your veins

Lightning dances across darkened skies
As thunderstorms beat to your heart
Rain soothes baked earth as tears of home fall

Guard against Africa's predjudiced
Building walls of doubt in your mind
Let kith nor kin deter your return

Your soul will rejoice as life begins
In Gods own Garden
Home-Sweet-Africa
