Analysis of Founding Fathers
Matt Starking 1987 (Africa)
you have done quite
an excellent job
the day of rewarding will come
when all the truth will be revealed
to the future generation
for fulfilling your pledge
to the people of this generation
you gave us inspiration
in you did we get our motivation
we come together as a nation
even though we were just a people
we went astray
but look at us today
a lost people without a leader
you brought us together
and gave us hope for the future
the source of every smoke
is the fire
and a pleasant smell
from a flower
you liberated us and made us stronger
God bless you Nkrumah
you are our founding father
even though your foes
undermine the fact that
you are a symbol of change
you are our new destiny
we will still live your legacy
you are a man of integrity
we now have a dream
we have a theme
no matter what they say
we can now see the way
like martin Luther king
racism do not mean a thing
you fought for that which is right
so we can now see the light
