Salif Keita - Africa lyrics

Africa is my descent And here I am far from home I dwell within a land that is meant For many men not my tone The blood of god is my defense Let it drop down to my seed Showers to your innocence To protect u for all eternity And with this wood I beat this drum And we won't see defeat From kings to queens becomes a prince Knowledge wisdom is Understanding what we need Ever since the day u came My whole world began to change I knew then to dedicate my life 4 your own Everyday I see u grow And remember what u already know I receive the love That radiates from your glow From which u came was love And that's how it all should be U and my soul are I Though all the time and history
