Baby Africanus By: LB Hues
Oh yes, the mighty river flows on
Flows on
Yes the vast Nile waters roll on
Roll on
Baby Africanus
Grown up from the soil
Baby Africanus
Skin blacker than oil
Beautiful baby, embraced by the sun
Play and run
Until the day is done
Beautiful child
No worries,
Regrets
Ascend with the solar
Rest your head when it sets
Oh yes the vast Nile rolls on
Rolls on
The thick blood of beauty flows on
Flows on
The tender embrace of sun moves on
Moves on
We’re from the land Africanus grows on
Grows on
