Africa - Salif Keïta

Africa is my descent

And here I am far from home

I dwell within a land that is meant

For many men not my tone

The blood of god is my defense

Let it drop down to my seed

Showers to your innocence

To protect u for all eternity

And with this wood I beat this drum

And we won’t see defeat

From kings to queens becomes a prince

Knowledge wisdom is

Understanding what we need

Ever since the day u came

My whole world began to change

I knew then to dedicate my life

4 your own

Everyday I see u grow

And remember what u already know

I receive the love

That radiates from your glow

From which u came was love

And that’s how it all should be

U and my soul are I

Though all the time and history
