Afrika

Written by Tara Rice

The soil is sown with our skin and our bones
The oceanโ€™s aflood with our cells and our blood
Constellations whisper in our ears
Harvesting, harvesting ideas

Fire has warmed us, love will transport us
From a drop, to a storm, to a stream, to an ocean
Motherland encourages our motion
From wellspring to thought from language to love, explosion

Oh, Afrika We all belong to this tapestry, this song
Born in this cradle, a sense of right and wrong
Lay back and count the shooting stars
Gaze above with love at who you are

Oh, Afrika
