Sounds

Posted on April 18, 2015 Updated on April 18, 2015

Listen – listen – across the land called Africa-
For the birds are singing here
The roar of the lioness – the whine of her cubs
The cry of the vultures – ever, ever circling there-

Oh – see for miles
No tangled web of wires
Endless horizons spread
No polluted mists – a view that will never tire

Listen – listen – across the land called Africa
The sun goes down – birds settle in every tree
The hunt begins – endless for their prey
For these are the sounds of Africa – they keep Africa free!
