    African Child

    I am an African child
    Born with a skin the color of the chocolate
    Bright, brilliant and articulate
    Strong and bold; I’m gifted
    Talented enough to the best
    I am an African child

    Often the target of the pity


    Mt future is not confined to charity
    Give me the gift of a lifetime;
    Give me a dream, a door of opportunity;
    I will thrive
    I am an African child

    Do not hide my fault


    show me wrong
    I am like any other;
    Teach me to dream
    And I will become
    I am an African child

    I am the son, daughter of the soil


    Rich in texture and content
    Full of potential for a better tomorrow
    Teach me discipline, teach me character,
    teach me hard work
    Teach me to think like the star within me
    I am an African child

    I can be extra-ordinary
    call me William Kamkwamba the Inventor,
    Give me a library with books
    Give me a scrap yard and discarded electronics
    Give me a broken bicycle;
    Plus the freedom to be me
    And I will build you a wind mill
    I am an African child

    We are the new generation


    Not afraid to be us
    Uniquely gifted, black and talented
    Shining like the stars we are
    We are the children of Africa
    Making the best of us
    Yes! I am an African child
