This song uses one of my favorite songs "Fly Away" by The Commodores and a poem recited by a beautiful South African child named Ntando Kubheka. She is awesome! A video of her reciting this poem entitled ' Africa my Continent, Africa my Home' written by Mhpo Ramakotjo can be found here www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnYf67FNETg
lyrics
Bii mo ni fe Oluwa wa – As I love The Lord
Beeni mo ni fe Mama Africa – I too love Mother Africa
I do it like this wherever I go!
Mo n’ife idile Adulawo!
That’s right and exact
Africa is in the house and that's the matter and fact
No white lies from me when I handle the track
I’m here to celebrate life so I’m putting on Black
(Ntando Kubheka)
Africa, my continent
Africa, My home
From the high mountains of Kilimanjaro
To the low valleys
The Villages of the north, to the rivers of the south
The Black tribes that throw out indeed
I salute you Africa for making me who I am, an African
I am an African
I respect, I speak African languages
and I am proud of these languages
The color of my skin is rich
Dark like coffee
And I am beautiful like a lamb impala
I am an African
A fearless person with dignity and respect
I am Strong as a lion clever as a monkey
I am the river that flows
And all those who are thirsty can drink
They drink Knowledge and perseverance
I am an African
A leader but not a follower
There is no one like me
I am smart and good looking
I am an African
