Seven Lifes
In my journey through the world, over land and

I see different cultures and different people's
ways
I was born where the sun never sets and never
rises
I was born where the heat is like a second skin
Children crying on the streets, automobiles
making noise
The land is growing dry and weak, spirits dying
low
The forefathers are calling me: never tire, never
weaken
The pride in me is bursting loose - I'm an African
boy.
On the farm my father called me down behind a

Listening to the songs of birds, whispers of the
night
Singing: seven goats, seven beads,
Seven cowries, seven nuts,
Seven lifes that's what I've got, I'm an African

Over sea, over land, over mountains and in the
wild
I'll be brave and I'll be strong, I'm an African boy.
In the evening, mother called me down into her
hut
She said, 'Lay upon my bosom and say a few
prayers'
Then she told me to go forward never looking

'The spirits are with you and you will never fail'
So I go into the world, into the deeps, into the
wild
In the market place I danced the sound of bata
Dancing - seven jumps, seven wriggles,
Seven cowries, seven nuts
Seven lifes, that's what I've got
I'm an African boy…
