Destiny Sojourners (A tribute to African Migrants)
From the shores of Africa
The land of untapped opportunities
They all fled, not all made it though
Many died in the arid desert
Others prey to ocean fishes
Driven by wars, poverty and abject squalor
Then unjust causes
Acts of man's inhumanity to man
seeking in the face of grave danger
New hope and progress
To the human race
Unlike the slave of old
None was forced out in chains
Yet everywhere they are in chains
chains of lack and shelter
Chains of destitution
Chains of insecurity
Hunted at home and abroad
Sleepless nights of tears
Oh| the wretch of the earth
Don't kick them out beloved
Accept them to your fold
For all men are strangers on earth
All are but Flowers of grass
To them a helping hand lend
Be a bridge builder
Like George Washington Carver
Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela
And place your name in the annals of history
Be a Dorcas, be another mother Theressa
Man is never happy, except when he gives happiness unto another
Teach her how to bake bread
Give him a fishing net
So that they can put a meal on their table
And a place to lay their head
Dejected but not forsaken sojourners arise
Destiny sojourners arise and shine
For your light is come.
