Homeland lyrics
The sun rises over the Savannah plain
The birds start to chat and call
Lion cubs play with their mothers tails
A hippo in the water starts to wail
Wildebeest and herds of Springboks
Run quickly across the plain
A leopard watches from a baobab tree
He licks his lips and will hunt his breakfast shortly
A herd of elephants move towards the watering hole
Animals move out of their way
It’s the start of another wonderful day
On the African wild Savannah plain
This is my Homeland where I was born and will stay
This is my Homeland, no one will take it away
A wild landscape built by God’s hand
Built by God’s hand, my Homeland, my Homeland
The Baobab tree is our tree of life
Planted upside down by the gods above
It give us fruit and water and much more
Given to us as a sign of His love
This is the Homeland of both animal and man
It is both theirs and our Homeland
We show them respect and they show us too
Like it should be all around the world too
I praise the Lord for the beauty and wonder of it all
Living in harmony with one and all
It’s the start of another wonderful day
On the African wild Savannah plain
This is my Homeland where I was born and will stay
This is my Homeland no one will take it away
A wild landscape built by God’s hand
Built by God’s hand, my Homeland, my Homeland
The African Homeland where all mankind began
My Homeland, my Homeland
