    I AM AN AFRICAN CHILD

    I am an African child
    Born with a skin the colour of chocolate
    Bright, brilliant and articulate
    Strong and bold; I'm gifted
    Talented enough to be the best
    I am an African child
    Often the target of pity
    My future is not confined to charity
    Give me the gift of a lifetime;
    Give me a dream, a door of opportunity;
    I will thrive
    I am an African child
    Do not hide my fault
    show me my wrong
    I am like any other;
    Teach me to dream
    And I will become
    I am an African child
    I am the son, daughter of the soil
    Rich in texture and content
    Full of potential for a better tomorrow
    Teach me discipline, teach me character, teach me hard work
    Teach me to think like the star within me
    I am an African child
    I can be extra-ordinary
    call me William Kamkwamba the Inventor;
    Give me a library with books
    Give me a scrap yard and discarded electronics
    Give me a broken bicycle;
    Plus the freedom to be me
    And I will build you a wind mill
    I am an African child
    We are the new generation
    Not afraid to be us
    Uniquely gifted, black and talented
    Shining like the stars we are
    We are the children of Africa
    Making the best of us
    Yes! I am an African child
