Africa Hums, African Drums
By Linda A. Copp

African drums, African drums,
Something 'bout your culture hums.
Must be your people,
must be your time,
Must be the rhythm
of your feet beating rhyme.

African drums, African drums,
Something 'bout your culture hums,
Must be your jungles, must be your rain,
Must be your wildlife, your forests and plains.

African drums, African drums,
Something 'bout your culture comes.
Spelling years of sun drenched haze
across the days of fields ablaze.

African drums, African drums,
Something 'bout your culture hums.
With the rhythm of your ancestry
and gifts of your humanity!
African drums African drums,
Something 'bout your culture hums.
