Abbey Lincoln - African Lady
Night is gone
I hear your song African lady, the dark fades away
Now it's day
A new morning breaks
The birds in the sky all sing
For Africa awaits
Bright light floods the land
And tomorrow is in your hand
African lady
Wedding a sun and of earth to you gave birth
African lady the sky lends it's stars
From the night to make your eyes bright
Sweet blossoms of scented trees wrap you in perfume breeze
The sun sets burying you
Tents ❲?❳ white robes for you
African lady
