Son of Africa

this piece i wrote feeling proud to be an african specifically a south african. the feeling of uniqueness and with so much pride in the rainbow nation.

i am the son of Africa

born in a sacred space

to thrive like a lion

born to shine like a day light

like profound rivers beneath mountains

feeding all nations with pride

pride of being an African

like grey winters melts away

as spring greets with greener pastures

oh the son of African daughter

with everlasting smile known by fellow Africans

oh Africa my beautiful land 

you are the place of my beginning 

and you are the place for my fall

for i have seen each birth of your dawn

that's why i stand with pride in this land

a land with possibilities, Africa i am your son

So divined by spirituality and polished like gold

with an eager to speak the language of the ancestry

that is lost in my tongue while faith reveals it

to pave unity among the divisions in the African land

oh sons of birth land of man kind unite yourselves

sons of the rainbow nature believe your power

because each dawn brings a new light so enlighten your hearts.
