Africa, The beloved

Africa, a vast land of the great and humble A meeting point of diverse cultures,

Africa, rising from the north to the south,
East to west,

Africa, different people, different cultures.
joined together in destiny.

Africa, referred to as the Dark Continent
Yet full of sunshine, life, and potential

Africa, the land of great athletes
clothed and blessed with great riches,

Africa, blessed with best coffee, tea, tropical fruits,

natural resources, minerals, diamonds, gold …

Africa, a sleeping giant lying unfulfilled
A land that has overcome many obstacles

Africa, enduring Slavery, colonization, apartheid
Poverty, diseases, drought, civil unrest

Africa, surviving the shame and abuse
Rising up to face another day

Africa, your destiny is at hand,
Let your power and your strength be known!
