We
The children of Africa
Can afford a smile
Despite the terror
Despite the horror
Dimples will not cease to form
We
The kids of this blackened continent
Let happiness rekindle our faith
Despite the poverty
Despite the hunger
Despite the scary sight of our malnourished
siblings
Our stomachs rumble
Our eyes have popped
Our ribs pierce the ribcage
And still, despite the tears
Despite the molesters
Despite the pain and suffering
Despite the cold
Despite the weakness
Smiles till form on our cheeks
Because we thank the Almighty
For the gift of life
