Lyrics

Africa is my descent And here I am far from home I dwell within a land that is meant Meant for many men not my tone, yeah The blood of God is my defense Let it drop down to my seed Showers to your innocence To protect you for all eternity And with this wood I beat this drum And we won't see defeat, yeah From kings to queens Becomes a prince Knowledge and wisdom Is understanding what we need (And this day will come) Ever since the day you came My whole world began to change I knew then to dedicate my life For your own (And this day will come) Everyday I see you grow And remember what you already know I receive, I receive the love That radiates from your glow From which you came was love And that's how it all should be You and my soul are one Through all the time and history, yeah (And past) Thank you, thank you
