I LOVE AFRICA



I  LOVE AFRICA
I love Africa
I love and cherish
Mother Africa
The home of the Blackman
The hope of the Blackman
I love Africa
The eternal home of the Blackman
The land of the rising sun
The home of the negus son
I love Africa
For her beauty
For her innocence
For her strength
And formidable enterprise
 I love Africa
The hope of the modern world
The bride of nascent world
