Stand Up African Children

by Wilford Gwabeni (09/11/1995)

Stand up African children

You born in this generation

Never blame colonisation

To your heroes and heroines show appreciation

By using wisely this liberation

Do your best

In order to be the best

Amongst the rest

Like a bird you are the only one to build your nest

Yeah! Life is a misery

Especially our history

Yet having solutions to it is a victory

Stand up not only for your rights but your duties and responsibilities

Arise and shine like the sun at sunrise

Yes we can’t change everything but we can change something
