I am the African child
I am the african child
all the world waits my coming
all the earth watches
with interest to see what i shall become
civilization hands in the balance
for what i am the world of tomorrow will be
i am the african child
you have brought me in to this world about which i know nothing
you hold in your hands my destiny
you determine whether i shall succeed or fall
give me i beg you, a world where i can walk tall and proud train me as it is your duty on to me
to love my self,my people
and to build an african nation.
all the world waits my coming
all the earth watches
with interest to see what i shall become
civilization hands in the balance
for what i am the world of tomorrow will be
i am the african child
you have brought me in to this world about which i know nothing
you hold in your hands my destiny
you determine whether i shall succeed or fall
give me i beg you, a world where i can walk tall and proud train me as it is your duty on to me
to love my self,my people
and to build an african nation.
