African Life, Our Beautiful Song

Rooster singing, break of day. Golden sun is on its way. Cows are walking,

dogs awake. Morning smiles the village makes. Smoke is rising, sky so blue.

Life begins again, so true. This is our life, simple and free.

From morning light till evening breeze. Hands together, hearts so strong. African life,

our beautiful song. Mama sweeping, red dust ground. Gentle footsteps,

sweeping sound. Girls with water, pots held high. Walking proud beneath the sky.

Father works with caring hands. Every role we understand. Children laughing on

the road. Books and dreams they proudly hold. Teachers smiling, lessons start.
