Path So Near

Let me voyage with you,
To a place untouched.
To feel the virgin ground,
That we love so much.
Where the animals are free,
And the birds rule high.
Where no language we speak,
Could ever storm the sky.
For this throne that I tell of,
Is not beyond our reach,
Oh! Knowledge we can learn so much,
Its knowledge it can teach.
And now beauty can triumph,
Above one blackened whole.
For how it’s vision can submerge,
And spread throughout the soul.
So please my friend, voyage with me,
Come forth, and see that –
This beauty in a lonely world,
Precious Africa.
