My Heart In Africa

I've a reason to die

Two reasons to live

I've no reason to lie

And many reasons to love

All because of you Africa

You’ve given me friends I can keep

You’ve given me lands that I should sow and reap

All efforts are fruitful and no cause to weep

Oh! Africa more and more of you, I pray to see

I've one hope in life

And that is to make heaven

I've worked, prayed and strife

For its in Africa God is dearly worshipped

I've a reason to die

Two reasons to live

I've no reason to lie

But countless ones to love

And I can do that for Africa.

By my skin they should tell

by this vast lands they should know me so well

Nature is alive here and it cast a glorious spell

By my tongue they should know

By my blood like rivers that flow

By the moon, only on this land, it gives a glorious glow 

I've a reason to die

Two reasons to live

No reason to lie

And countless ones to love 

Africa you own my heart

You’re my land, my life, my house

Why won't I love to tell of your story?

Why won't I want the world to share of your glory?

I've a reason to die

Two reasons to live

No reason to lie

Many to reasons to love

Africa in my heart you come above

I don't know of lands faraway with miles

But in Africa the sun does have a beautiful smile

They know of you, because your children are bright

You have told them tales by the moon light 

I might have a reason to die

Only two to live

None to lie

Countless ones remain to love

All in you My Africa
