African Rivers !!!

Have you seen the Rivers in Africa
They bring warmth, health and strength
It flows in my veins, Red and Hot
The blood of our Heart, beats like its Drums

Can you see when the sun rises up
As the grasses and leaves stretches forth
To their full length in glorious entity
To enjoy the warming power of love

I woke up, behold a wonderful new day!
Oh, my Mother Africa, our skins are black
And our hearts tough, clothed with strength
As our whole life, filled with His endless grace

In the Night sky, our warriors shine
The stars never ceases to end for us
For the fountain of youth is here
Drink, drink, the waters of my beloved Africa

You would find none sweeter nor better
African waters, is our life and hope always
Ah! Come see, come behold, come love
The Africa that I see and am proud off.

The Train

Sitting here watching the trees and leaves
Grasses and flowers skipping backwards
As I plunge forward, onward to my destination
Gentle and steadily I move one more meter
How beautiful the countryside looks
Sweeping beauty as I see the farmers work
Shhh that was the sound of the horn
Cars, lorries and animals stop as we pass by
Farm children and adults wave
Slowly from town to town we reach
And cities to cities we cross
Outside, is hot because its summer
Yet inside my train is cool
For the air conditioner is working perfectly
I see farm stead and farm animals
The big and the small I take in all I see
Selfish and greedy you may say, but its true
I swallow all that I see
For behold the beauty of nature
Expanding right before my eyes unto infinity
The obvious oblivion, has taken hold of the unknown
