African Love Map
Captured by the beauty of Lillian.
I think of her on the coast of Durban.
With her is where I want to be.
So beautiful she could be a Wodaabe.
There's no way to assign a worth,
indeed the most beautiful person on earth.
Being near her could lift m from the Diaspora.
We could make a start in Liberia.
For her hand I would ask her ma ma,
permission to marry her in Ghana.
We're not moving too fast too soon
There's a home waiting for us on the coast of Cameroon.
There's no place I'd fail to go,
Yes even to Bembe in the Congo.
We could lie on our backs admiring God's moon,
sharing kisses in the meadows of Gabon.
Please don't say no and bring my eyes to shed a tear.
My friends would have to console me on the streets of Zaire.
I would remain faithful in Tanzania, celebrate her beauty in Kenya.
For love I would carry her cross in Askum, Ethiopia.
My love for her would not wonder,
it could stop the the hate and civil war in Rwanda.
What God has joined together let no man put asunder.
For her I'm a one woman man.
I will breakt he multi-wife customs of Swaziland.
Our love stays strong and so I continue to pray,
we could start a farm in Great Zimbabwe.
For Lillian I'd leave America,
and hold onto to her all the wayt to South Africa
