Lead me through Africa

Assemble me the leaders and now,
tell me what they have done.
Gather for me the giants, and absolutely,
tell me what they have done.
i know, oh! yes i know that
every one of you wants to be
the African leader.
but first of all, lead me through Africa, and
tell me what you have done.

Can you sweep the footstep of your doors?
Clean at last the front of your yards,
before making the entire Africa spotless,
the whole Africa shall thus be clean.
Tell us what you have done for your village
before jumping to be the leader.
What now? but lead me through Africa.

Listen! crimes shines at the doors
of your parliaments and
it flows into the community,
murders begin in the courts of laws,
to continue in the townships.So what?
Tell us what you have done,
so that you lead us through Africa.
 
Everyone wants to pilot me Africa,
outlead first your home to its high,
before leading the African neighborhood.
this applies for you African leaders.
Correctly, show me the way through Africa.

till we meet.
