Ghana The Beautiful

Sunlight and golden beaches
Spacious skies ever blue
Mellow breeze that whispers gently
Exalted mountains reaching high heavens
Glorious trees with leafs of myrrh
Streaming rivers of life ever flowing
Children with happy faces glowing
While the good times keep on rolling







Nappy hairs and dark skin tones
Graveyards safe keeping our ancestors bones
Empty castles filled with past horrors
Brothers who sold their own
To strangers who had no souls
To devils in human disguise
Whose tongues were painted with lies
In return for what nobody knows







Tomorrow's children with yesterday's eyes
Elderly folks with juvenile hearts
Still dancing to high-life music
While the young sway to hip-life
Mothers with babies on their backs
Traders carrying their loads on their heads
Backwards never they say
Forward ever with no delay







Ghana the Land of Yaa Asantewaa
Ghana the Land of Dr Kwame Nkrumah
Ghana the Land of J B Danquah
Ghana the Land of my birth and death
Ghana the Land of many contradictions
Ghana the Land of gold
Ghana the Land of black gold
Ghana my soul sanctuary
Ghana the beautiful
