    Lyrics

    in my journey through the world
    overland and oversea
    I see different cultures
    and different people's way
    I was born where the sun
    never set and never rises
    I was born where the heat is like a second skin
    children crying on the streets
    automobiles are making noise
    the land is growing dry and weak
    spirits dying low
    the fore fathers are calling me
    are never tire never weak
    the pride in me is bursting loose
    an African boy

    C3TZR1g81UNaPs7vzNXHueW5ZM76DSHWEY7onmfLxcK2iP5V9of9cuYForqTSJn1GXLtds1s4aRnaXSUF6SXC8pzFapsTov1hDbsG7djvv4Z3w86wzgV8Xp.png

    on the farm my father called me down behind the tree
    he said prostrate at my feet and say a few prayers
    then he told me all the stories of my brave ancestors
    said look into my eyes son
    you were born to brave
    so in that while I went home behind my father with a hoe
    listening to the songs of birds
    whispers of the night
    I was singing

    C3TZR1g81UNaPs7vzNXHueW5ZM76DSHWEY7onmfLxcK2iP5V9of9cuYForqTSJn1GXLtds1s4aRnaXSUF6SXC8pzFapsTov1hDbsG7djvv4Z3w86wzgV8Xp.png

    in the evening
    mother called me down into her hut
    she said lay upon my bossom
    and say a few prayers
    then she told me to go forward never looking back
    the spirits are with you
    you will never fail
    so I go into the world into the deeps into the wirld
    in the market place I dance the sound of bata dancing

    seven dots
    seven beads
    seven cowries
    seven nut
    seven lives that's what 've got
    I'm an African boy
    oversea overland overmoutains in the wirld
    I'll be brave and I'll be strong
    I'm an African boy
    seven jumps
    seven riggles
    seven cowries
    seven nut
    seven life that's what have got
    I'm an African boy
    oversea overland overmoutains in the wirld
    I'll be brave and I'll be strong
    I'm an African boy
