The Black Stars of Africa

The Black Stars of Africa

In the midst of so much despair
Where all hope seem to be lost
The human spirit do seek repair
From an inner recess, at all cost

in all African villages crowds grow
a lone Black Star hope awakening
the crowd enjoyed the soft glow
of the screen on the cool evening

the Vuvuzela sounds like a bee hive
the Hope of Africa is being revived
in the Black Stars of Ghana to strive
but it is the Hope of Africa survived

one lone Black Star ate all their stars
so black stars shine, black balloons fly
to all greater heights to erase the scars
in the skies it is the air that lifts so sly

Nkrumah's Independence of Ghana
meaningless unless yoked with Africa
so the Hope of Africa muster to garner
to bring hope as a Ghana vs. America

Aftermath victory, vuvuzela deafening
Kokorokoo! Africa must now unite as one
Nyame Okokoroko, thank you defending
Gye Nyame! The Hope of Africa is as one.
