I Am An African

    Land of the Sun

    2015

    I’ll never give up
    On this land of the sun
    Where the people are many
    And the spirit is one

    There’s a battle that’s raging
    Of the dark and the light
    Which side are you choosing?
    Will you stand up and fight?

    I’ll never turn back
    On this place of the bow
    Where the long walk to freedom
    Has a long way to go

    There’s a new revolution
    Of what’s wrong and what’s right
    Will you question the leaders?
    Will you root out the blight?

    I’ll never let go
    Of this home of the wild
    Where the beasts roam the plains
    And the hope’s in a child

    There’s a struggle unended
    Of the days and the nights
    Will you be strong together?
    Will you rise to great heights?

    I’ll never give up
    On this cradle of life
    Where the problems are many
    And the future shines bright
