Good day everyone my name is @Joshuabbey, How are you doing over there.? Greetings to everyone from here, Kudos to the admin, moderators and to All the participants, I say greetings to you all.
In this week 133 of the Hive musical contest, i will be singing a song titled : Seven life composed and produced by Beautiful nubia. The song is a song that is talking about the african culture, decribing the african environment in a musical way. This song is also a song that is full of hope for a better future. I am proud to be an african guy, what about you.
The lyrics of the song goes thus:
In my journey through the world, over land and over sea
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 are 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 tree
He said, "Prostrate at my feet and say a few prayers"
Then he told me all the stories of my brave ancestors
Said, "Look into my eyes, son, you were born to be great"
So in the twilight I went home behind my father with a hoe
Listening to the songs of birds, whispers of the night
I was singing, "Seven goats, seven beads
Seven cowries, seven nuts
Seven lives that's what I've got, I'm an African boy
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 back
"The spirits are with you, and you will never fail"
So I go into the world, into the deeps, into the wild
In the marketplace, 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
Over sea, over land, over mountains and in the wild
I'll be brave, and I'll be strong, I'm an African boy
Seven goats, seven beads
Seven cowries, seven nuts
Seven lifes that's what I've got, I'm an African boy
Over sea, over land, over mountains and in the wild
I'll be brave, and I'll be strong, I'm an African boy
