We are all hear for a particular path
So it doesn’t take a scientist to know we are part of the math

Hope we understand before it’s too late
That we are the present that will become the future that our people await

This is our fight to be of use
Make the prime news with headlines saying we stopped the abuse

Tell the politicians that hold back
Their bank accounts full of ours will be emptied because the safe will crack

Foreign countries that eat our fish
Who be that rich sail away from our once prosper coast that is my wish

Believe in our power to bring
Up the Sahara dessert life like it once was green all year around spring

In a place that we call home
Is the civilization that built the pyramids so much of it is credited to Rome?

We are the new born power
Bringing hope to a decade of resistance from man that came to devour

Who can mother Africa count on?
If this generation that has the chance to end poverty does not come along
