Born with a skin the color of chocolate
Bright, brilliant and articulate
Strong and bold; I’m gifted
Talented enough to be the best
I am an African child.
Often the target of pity
My future is not confined to charity
Give me the gift of a lifetime;
Give me a dream, a door of opportunity;
I will thrive
I am an African child.
Do not hide my fault
Show me my wrong
I am like any other;
Teach me to dream
 And I will become
I am an African child.
I can be extra-ordinary
Call me William Kamkwamba the
Inventor;
Give me a library with books
Give me scrapyard and discarded
electronics
Give me a broken bicycle;
Plus the freedom to be me
And I will build you a wind mill
I am an African child.
