I Once Lived In Africa
I once lived in Africa
To teach, to make a positive difference.
I came to explore, be free, and do.
I came to work with a team
To build a unique school program.
I once lived in Africa
Africa, the land of a good river
The land of history
The land of exploration, conquest
But it remains.
I came with hope
For me
For a school
For a part of my life
I leave
Needing refreshment
Sucked dry
With nothing to give.
But I recall that
I once lived in Africa,
And OH
I saw so little,
But I drank of the wind.
