My only wish
Desmond muzite 2002 (Rusape)
sometimes l wonder if God can give me power
and then l could do anything
for this world
can you imagine if l was the king of all the nations.
then l would say no to xinophobia in South Africa,
without fear l would say no to corruption in Zimbabwe
without hesitation l would say no to racism in America
with a passion l would say no to war in Mozambique and Congo
How is it
when you see America and China dancing to the same rhythm
How is it
when you see America and China living in the same house
How is it
when you see a poor man
on the same table with the rich man
How is it
if we just love eachother
