Africa, Forever in my heart
Beautiful Africa
Oh, Africa
I will bask in your sunshine
and wallow in your waters
I will eat the fruit of your land
in the season of plenty,
when rivers tumble
and your grass is young
and tender..
Before the season
of emaciated waterways
and brittle bush returns
in the endless cycle
of life and death..
Oh, Africa
how your harshness enhances your beauty;
how your season of lack brings glory
to the time of growth
and harvest...
Oh, Africa
your beauty is in your mountains
and in your plains;
in your deserts
and in your waters;
Oh Africa of my heart,
you are beautiful in season and out..
Oh, Africa -
you are beautiful!
