African Lady-Abbey Lincoln

African Lady - Abbey Lincoln Written by：Langston Hughes/Randy Weston Sunrise at dawn Night is gone I hear your song African lady The dark fades away Now it's day A new morning breaks The birds in the sky all sing For africa awakes Bright light floods the land And tomorrow is in your hand African lady When in the sun And of Earth To you gave birth African lady The sky lends it's stars From the night To make your eyes bright Sweet blossom's of scented sheets Wrap you in perfume breeze The sun sets very hue Tense with play Bright roads for you African Lady
