Awakening to the dawn's lustre
Golden rays of light in my hand
Colouring the canvas in grand
Bold design, with words to mend
The pieces of a once broken land
Back to its natural beauty, our Motherland
Awakening to a collective voice
Resonating to the depths of my core
Documenting our legends and folklore
Witnessing Africa's ascent off the floor
Rising up, heading towards the door
To redeem her former glory once more
Awakening to lyrical harmonies
The dancing wind carrying on its wings
Evocative chantings of new beginnings
In harmony with the rhythmical drumming
Of Mother Nature's heart beat resounding
Intertwining tapestries of every living being
Awakening to a timeless dream
Of a place where stars radiate in daylight
Hand toting the swelling moon bright
Bathing Africa's dreams in glowing light
The poet's pen potent in its might
Catapulting thoughts to new heights
Awakening in majestic Africa
Bearer of life, cradle of humankind
Vessel of light, illuminating the blind
Spirit of knowledge,nourishing minds
In her treasure chest the world will find
Love that bind ties, uniting all humankind
