AFRICAN CHILD Born with pride and honor Born to be a warriorBorn to be brave and strongThe lion of AfricaThe thunder of the tribeI hear the cry of my ancestor's Calling from beyondCalling from the desertCalling from the windCalling from the sea Crying for the childrenHawking in the streetFrom day to nightFor the poor child in slaveryFor the bloodshed of tribal wars I hear the cry of our ancestor'sTaint no more the soilLet our spirit rest.
