YOU ARE AS BEAUTIFUL IN MY DREAMS LIKE THE JUNGLES OF THE SERINGETTHI.
HIDDEN CULTURTES OF BLACK BEAUTY AND TRADITIONS MAKE THE LAND SEEMS TO CALL MY NAME IN EHCOS OF CHANTS.
THE RHYTHM OF THE CALF SKIN DRUM RINGS MY SOUL THE WARMTH OF SUNSETS AT DAWN BOTH ENCHANTING TO SEE IN PERSON.
INTRODUCTION NEED NOT APPLY FOR THE SERENADE OF WILD LIFE AND THE HARMONY OF SUMMER DAYS BLENDS THE BREEZE OF WELCOME HOME.
OH MOTHERLAND OF MY ANCESTER CRIES IN THE EYES OF THE PEOPLE.
WHERE CHANTS SCREAM SHALL RIDE ON THE WAVE OF AIR CHANGE IN THE THINGS TO COME.
THE BEAUTY I FIND IN THE ART AND CULTURE HANDED DOWN THROUGH GENERATIONS OF TRADITONS,
WITH EXPLOSIVE EXPRESSION OF ALL YOU HAVE TAUGHT YOUR CHILDREN IN THE SHAMEFULL TEARS OF POVERTY.
I MORN THE RAPE OF YOUR GIFTS OF GOLD AND DIAMONDS WHERE WEALTH IS SHIPPED OFF IN THE CARGO TO DISTANT PLACES LIKE THE FACES OF SLAVES LOST.
CHILDREN OF LOST SPIRITS SHALL REJOICE IN THE RETURN TO THE LAND OF THEIR BIRTH.
I SOME DAY WILL WALK UPON YOUR GRACEFULL BODY AND LISTEN TO MY SPIRIT SAY I AM HOME OH AFRICA.

I really love the line starting w/, "WITH EXPLOSIVE EXPRESSION..."
This is very interesting...and sad. You have a few spelling errors - ancestor, mourn, shameful, graceful.
God bless you! |
