My African Dreams

by Osman Koroma


My African dreams
Dreams to stop running from my home
I dream for us to live in peace
I dream to see us stop killing each other
My African dreams

My African dreams
I dream to live in the land of brown and not of red
I dream to learn and live in our history
I dream to see us building mother Africa
and not allowing others to use mother Africa
for their mothers to shine
My African dreams

My African dreams
I dream that we will open our eyes
and see that we are stronger
and hearts are filled with love
minds are full of wisdom
I dream we will stop being others’ puppets
My African dreams

My African dreams
I dream we will stop using each other
and build each other
I dream we will leave legacy
for our children to live on
build on
I dream we will walk on his path and not ours
My African dreams
