about our struggle, beauty and how far we have come |
The beats of drums unceasing, Bodies move in frenzy dancing Coal and wood burning in an unquenchable light And teethes shining in the glorious night Faces and body adorned with designs Irresistible, unlike the brine The black skin glistening with sweat Though the heat of the season Oblivious of the surrounding Mother Nature Exhibitions of paintings and carvings Africa!! With all its up’s and downs Africa! The night even shouts her name Africa!! Dwelling of the never fading dark skins There is nothing compared to thee Dancing, we all clap our hand in joy Singing, we raise our voices to the night Of our cultural love for ourselves And for the beauty of the continent As we commemorate our past lives Amidst the joy of celebrating our history A war song is being chanted A warrior shouts out the chant This war is not about fighting ourselves This war is about fighting still for our cultural heritage A struggle to survive, even as we are been looked down on Though they feel complacent about our situation But we know, we shall continue to struggle Rise up Africa! Extol your cultural heritage There is no time to be coy It is time to show courage, determination Because, we shall triumph Even in the throes of civilization Our cultural heritage shall still be maintained We shall never back down Because there is no retreat and no surrender Rise up Africa, rise up It is time To extol your cultural heritage |
