Mama Africa

sweet smell of roses and jasmine

she swings you can notice

the song on her lips

gives a sound of a good music

she fetches the wood

and makes the fire

light up the fortnite sky and

dance the night in style

gyrate in circle

to the sound of the evening wind

they say the beautiful ones

are not yet born

but if you asked me

i say you may be wrong

i have seen the sun shine

the moon and the stars

the ocean rise

the day and night

the African woman

her beauty and pride

Oh...mama Africa

your beauty is so divine
