The Giant’s Dream

With opened arms, you welcomed all races
Allowing the birth of nations
Before the pharaohs, to the digital age
You! Mother of blacks, were, are and will be

This Silence, my silence
Blinded me all that made you beautiful
From your incredible landscape, people, culture, stories, languages, civilization, pride and freedom
I watched as you got stripped, humiliated, isolated, divided from everything that made you whole
I watched, I ignored and chased vanity.

This Silence, My silence
I break free from, walk back to you;
Because without you there is no me.
I choose to raise my voice, for I watched you suffer from far
Forgive me
Forgive me
Please forgive.
I move to break greed, pride, selfishness, hatred and fear
They can’t hold us apart anymore
I need you to hold my hand, even if this union isn’t perfect.
Let’s reconnect
Let’s reconnect, reconnect for empowerment
Let’s reconnect, and see beyond the darkness
Reconnect for a greater and unified powerful generation
Let’s do it for the sake of generations to come

I believe in you, I believe in us
I believe in the giant you beget
The giant we are
A castle in the sky we can build with rooms filled with the finest of gifts,
Gifts you provided to accommodate all the birds of the sky, even for generations to come
Let’s reconnect
Mama Africa!
My dearest, no more of this
This silence, my silence

Constant –
