Mama Afrika


If Is Ever A Land So Clean

A Great Land With Love To The Brim

With No Spiritual Sin Than A Jeer Sin

Then My Tongue Is Good On A Slip

To Say No Word But Mama Africa 

 

Black Is Evil So They Say 

But Fortunately With Minds Dull At Bay

The Stars Witness And The Sun At Day

That We Are Nothing Mere Like 

A Prisoner Out On Bail

For Beautiful Is Black And All Must Say

So Great Is My Land, MAMA AFRIKA
