Hello fellow artist of this wonderful community. (HIVE OPEN MIC)I appreciate all of your comments and upvotes. I also appreciate the work of the organizer of this contest @cabelindsay, and all curators in this community.

The theme this week is "Quiet desert". My song is an original song Titled "Dear Africa". This song is a reflection of what is happening in Africa, It is like desert, and the masses are quiet because they have no power. Let's see how the song goes..

LYRICS

We had a dream to build a great nation
We had a desire to rule the world
We lost our way and we should have turned
Around
But all we do is keep on going wrong
How many more years of sorrow will come
How many more wars will we fight?
Dear Africa I'm worried for you
Come on and tell me, what we gonna do?
Tell me where we gonna go for love
Where we gonna go for hope
Show me how we gonna live without justice
How we gonna live together?
We've got the children scattered all over the world
They contribute to those economies
Back in the land the forest has become a desert
We shift the blame from one to the other
How much more blood are we gonna shed
How many more kids will go to war?
Dear Africa I'm down on my knees
Come on and tell me what we gonna do?
The sky is bright and the music is high
The spirits of our fathers returning home
Dear Africa give me some hope
Come on and tell me what we gonna do...
