The New Africa

the new Africa
there will be a time 
of no sorrows
there will be a time
of no poverty
this time will come
when we don't need 
to migrate and find 
a life abroad
there will be a time 
of restoration 
there will be a time 
of joy 
yes is coming when
the youth is given
a chance

the new Africa 
there will be a time 
when we will be foreigner's
no more but our own 
citizens
there will be a time
when Africa 
will no longer 
be seen lesser than
they worth 
there will be a time 
when the old dictators
will die and let us breath 
there will be a revolution
soon especially that 
of the mind control
a revolution of change 
and that can't be 
with out the youth 
of change 

the new Africa
there will be a time 
of no wars 
there will be a time 
when tribes don't 
count 
there will come a time 
of unity in Africa 
it gradually coming
to stay 
there will be a time 
of victory over 
corruption in Africa
there will be soon 
a time of a 
new beginning for 
the birth of 
the new Africa 

the new Africa 
the birth of a new 
Africa is around
the corner 
it threaten our 
resources hunters 
they don't want 
this kind of future
for us 
they believe we are 
not human enough
to own what is 
our right 
but there comes 
a time 
a time for the people
a time of a new era 
a time of the ready 
and hungry youth 
a time of revolt 
a time of a permanent
change 
a time of a new beginning
in this times 
the pregnant Africa 
will finally deliver
the new Africa
