If Africa were a person
I'd kiss its warm shimmering skin
It's ashy resilient feet
It's baby faced persona
If Africa were a person
I'd wash the feet of its mother
Sing a song to its father
And give a treat to its brother
I'd play with its babies
Run wild with its animals
And cry with its ancestors
If Africa were a person
I'd give birth to its new land
Bring back its family
And protect it from being tainted
And from those who seek to harm it
But you see
Africa is a person.
Africa is you
Africa is me
Africa is us
Africa is We
