God Bless Africa

God bless Africa

For she is the seed of humanity

And I am the future through her

When her roots sprout, I am born

And as her leaves unfurl, I grow

When her branches spread, I learn

And as her flowers bud, I bloom

 

God bless Africa

For she is the fire of creation

And I am transformed through her

When problems loom, I am challenged

And when solutions hide, I search

When suffering strikes, I ache

And when relief calls, I answer

 

God bless Africa

For she is the tree of life

And I am alive through her

When her roots are dry, I thirst

And when her trunk is cut, I bleed

As the seasons turn, I change

And as her fruits ripen, I flourish
