Africa

Screams echo through the air,

the endless voices of despair,

my heart aches to hear the things,

the fight for independence brings.

Blood is shed, no ones spared,

is god the only one who cares?

Parents dead, children cry,

How many people have to die,

until the point is made?

Who will stop this endless cascade

of death, blood, grief and sorrow?

When will we live without fear of tomorrow?

When will Africa be a united nation?

What will be left for the next generation?

When will Africans make love not war?

For this is the life that is longed for!

One day,

One love,
One Africa,
We pray,
Amen.
