MY AFRICAN PRIDE

written by Sibonga Maphumulo (Guest Writer) 17th October 2019
Music, you are my African pride ;
You unite enemies, friends and nations;
You heal, counsel and inform;
Through you, my soul is purified and my heart is sharpened,
With the wings of your sweet melody, you open heavens
For me to enter and take a sit;
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they’ll see God.
 
  My Wife, you’re my African pride;
You dilute oxygen to give me life;
Your laughter, joy and happiness – strengthen my bones,
To be able to stand and walk through hard uncontrollable times;
I agree to disagree with enemies, who hold wrong end of a stick
When it’s time to reward your endeavours;
Blessed be the Lord, my Rock and my great strength,
Who trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle.

 

  Titanium, you’re my African pride;
The beautiful silver-grey metal and meant for Africa,
You originate in Africa but you don’t shine for it;
Countries out there make billions, while Africans suffer;
Africa, why do you produce but don’t own?
Why do you work hard but stay poor?
Rise and shine Africa, your time is now,
God bless Africa!
Coal and oil, you’re my African pride;
Black is beautiful and meant for Africa;
But we need to break this knowledge barrier,
God is the key for unlocking all the doors
We only know how when we were told how by God.
God, bring back our African products – for our African businesses.
Black rock, for glass, and seed for chocolate production
Are our African pride and shoulder to cry on;
Thank you Ivory-coast, you made us proud!
These products were meant for us
But they fall onto the wrong hands …
Why Lord? Aren’t our tears and suffering enough?
Shower us, oh Lord, with the spray of the Holy Spirit,
For us to be extra productive in our own continent.
Ebony, coffee and black soil are our African pride;
I forget to remember the short comings of the past,
I’m looking forward to hearing of the good news ahead,
Where our children will be proud of us, when we’re proud of our Africa.
Wake up and shine Africa! Green pastures are waiting for us ahead.
God bless Africa! We’re proud of you.
