May the African girl child arise…
May she arise to be the princess that she is
May she fight oppression in all its forms
May she be bold and not be afraid
She has been abused and betrayed
By those meant to protect her
But she is strong and courageous
May her beauty shine like a star
And her strength be the roar of a lioness
She is the daughter of the soil
Black and beautiful
May the African girl child arise
Happy Africa Day my dear readers
