Lost African
Yesterday I was an African
Today I am lost
In the womb
Of an ungeographical forest
How awful,how awful, how awful
My roots are dispersed
Oh Mother!!
My braids
I can't feel my beads too
Lend me, lend me, lend me
Please a mirror
To confirm my African Image
Yesterday I was an African
Today I am lost
Tomorrow I would be in the land of the lost
Before I lose my Identity
Before I throw away my Kente Cloth
Let me dance to my favorite Kpanlogo and Adowa song
