AFRICA



Here,we have made friends out of wild animals,
We have turned enemies into allies and allies into relatives,
We have made sharing a culture and pride a taboo,we are proud to be us which is just but right,

Here,we have fought together to protect our culture,
Men,women and even children have suffered to only to achieve peace but also to gain our strength,
We have prioritized natural beauty and we recognize our beautiful melanin,
We are proud to be us which is just but right,

Here,we place our delight in little things that bring smiles on our faces,
Late night stories,dancing in the rain,
This things define us,
We cherish family and place all our strength to protecting those we love,
We are proud to be us which is just but right,
