Sweet children
    Of Africa, beautiful Africa
    Breathed down from above
    Living light
    Danced down with Love

    Dance down the Light…
   
    Listen, hear…

    As the soulful bones
    Of your ancestors
    Drum on the living skins
    Of dead antelopes
    With thunderous frenzy

    Dance down the Light…
   
    Repaint the scorched landscape
    Of the mighty Sudan
    With the brush strokes
    Of your ivory smiles
    Birth your freedom, dance
    Savour the gifts
    Of the Great Nile

    Dance down the Light…
   
    Sweet, sweet children
    Of Africa, beautiful Africa
    Your dance is the key
    Feel the wonder, the mystery
    So DANCE!

PEACE, RAJSHAHEEN
