My Cravings

With the memories of you in my mind

I wish the wind can take me to find you

Now I am full of  regrets

Still finding it hard to forget

With you still on earth

I hope we still cross path

I am like a caged bird

who craves for freedom

I stand on the grave of dreams

and shout on a nightmare scream

with a fearful trill

I pray for things I longed for still

My tune is heard from a distant hill

as I sing of freedom

Africa! land of the grieved

Our hereos strived for a better place

with echoes and pain of them in the rain

Tearful woes of ancient slavery

Seemed to have gone in vain

Our leaders are head high just like a Giraffe

I now crave a better place

and with tears of melancholy

I sit and wait for tomorrow to deliver the future
