I am a child of Africa,
I am a child of this earth,
Made by Mother Nature,
Just like you.

I am a child of Africa,
Abandoned by the system,
Let down by those
Who pretend to try to lead us.

I am a child of Africa,
You see me on your TV,
As we cry for your loose change,
But you just change over the channel.

I am a child, just a child,
Just like those children,
Sitting next to you on the couch,
Why do you turn us away?

I am a child of Africa,
Do I not deserve the a chance
To grow and make a change,
I am a child, jus a child
A child of Africa, this world, this universe,
Just like you.
