SING YOUR SONG AFRICAN MAN
Children carried away to a foreign land
Be not dishearten to sing your song in this strange land
Whether you are singing as a brave American
Or whether you're singing as a
courageous West Indian
No matter if you might be scattered on the motherland
Of if from
In whatever country you choose to home
With all your heart, Oh sing your song you African man
Children imposed upon with a foreign tongue
Be not ashamed to claim
No matter what language you may speak, always remember to
honor
your roots, speak your peace
with dignity
Like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Marcus
"Messiah" Garvey, Mohammed
Ali, and Brother Bob Marley, Lift your head up high and
sing your song as a proud African. You as a people have more music in your
veins than any other man
Never be afraid to sing your song of unity and of
redemption
Sing your song African man!
