born to africa
the cradle of mankind
motherland the beautiful
home to river nile pyramids of kings and queens great kilimanjaro
kalahari to the south sahara to the north
warriors and gods and pharaohs
slaves turned heroes
they're all children of africa africa mother beautiful
africa the land of my birth
my dark brown skin kissed by the sun
my spiral hair crowning my head
my lips so full i'm proudly
a child of africa god blessed africa
somalians ethopians i've never seen such beauty
ma**ai of kenya xhosas of south africa ashanti people of ghana
shaka zulu my king mandela my hero
cleopatra sade fela kuti salif keta and makeba
they're all children of africa africa mother beautiful
africa the land of my birth
my dark brown skin kissed by the sun
my spiral hair crowning my head
my lips so full i'm proudly
a child of africa from the valleys to the hills
savannah to the wild
i sing songs of my ancestors
from the mighty waterfalls
the sun lives on my land
i'm a child of africa africa mother beautiful
africa the land of my birth
my dark brown skin kissed by the sun
my spiral hair crowning my head
my lips so full i'm proudly
i'm a child of africa
