African passion
African passion
Melanin, is my glib skin of emerald beauty
Which has protruded from nature like the morning dew
And composed the hymn of the Northern majesties
Am I not the peaceful river of the Southern Hemisphere?
Cascading with fluvial purity bearing a crystalline lattice culture
Which bred me into ruby sculpture to motion good omen
Am I not the valorous queen from the Eastern Kingdom?
Rigid on the saffron horizon of the birth of dawn
Candidly declaring my love for mother Africa and her offspring
Am I not, the chilly breeze of the western coasts
Breathing fresh harmony into the glorious tides of the seas
Am I not the African passion, the passion of Africa
