You haven't seen life until you have seen Africa,
The
blazing sun setting over the cool blue lakes,
The raw passion of
the bush and jungle,
The total freedom of God's wild and free
animals.
No you haven't seen life.
You haven't lived until you have felt Africa,
The African sun
beating down on your forehead,
The heat that drenches your body
with cool sweat.
Hear the beat of the mysterious drums as the
sun sets,
And the people return from their work in the fields.
You haven't lived until you have heard Africa,
Seen the
poverty and simpleness of life in the wild,
Seen a people so
humble, so believing and yet,
So proud and cheerful, so full of
song and goodwill
That you definitely cannot find anywhere else.
You cannot fight social injustice unless Africa
Strums your
heart strings and sets a tear to your eye,
A people so
misunderstood, a hard working people,
So down trodden and take
advantage of by misguided leaders.
No, you haven't lived life to
the full unless you have lived Africa.
