	On this great continent soil 
Kept by many a people's toil 
All our effort disasters do foil 
Wars and famine in every community boil 
Every heart in fear recoil 
Our children in poverty coil 
Even in countries God gave oil 
Thorns only grow on this soil. 
 
Now the hour is here  
He that wants life should hear 
That there is no reason to fear 
Though garments of shame now we wear 
And our soil be wet with our tears  
One day roses the African soil will bear 
Cause peace will be there!
