When I look at the Nile or Niger
My heart overflows with profound admiration
As currents daringly flow on each iconic river
Every fountain has wealth embedded in her waters
Each mountain, sealed by the richness of its history
This is the reason I recognize a path
A path filled with promises
Promises to make Africa great
In fact, Africa is already great
What a marvelous sight to behold!
Imagine, a variety of wildlife in Togo
Comforting sounds of birds across Comoros
Outstanding presence of gazelles in Cameroon
Supernatural nests of swallows from epic Chad
Super Eagles soaring higher in Abuja
Magical flavor on Sea Cuisine from sanctified Senegal
Amazing pyramids in the gifted land of Sudan
Breath-taking desert all over Sahara
Beautiful girls dancing malembe in the colourful Sibasa
Bubbly boys playing in busy streets of Kinshasa
Men brewing special coffee near corners of Mombasa
Women beading around some parts of Luanda
Elders sharing stories at hearty homes of Rwanda
Lovely smiles from the stunning faces of Eritrea
Heartfelt love from the people of Liberia
Eternal Spirit of Ubuntu in Tanzania
Eye-catching mosaics around Tunisia
Fashion trending all the way from Malawi
Historical archives inside artistic Mali
Vibrant traces of culture in Namibia
Incredible wisdom in The Gambia
Sweet melodies from Ghana
Sacred forests in Uganda
Serene Oceans of Madagascar
Special works of art from Addis Ababa
So many diamonds around Botswana
Abundant copper from magnificent Zambia
Hidden treasures in Zimbabwe
This is no ordinary Continent
But a place of contentment
Everyone who comes here
Is welcome at a first glance
By the greatness of Africa!
