Poets often remind us that beauty can be found in unexpected places.
Throw all your burdens down,
If God has been so gracious
As to make you black or brown,
For you are a great nation,
A people of great birth
For where would spring the flowers
If God took away the earth?
Rejoice and shout with laughter
Throw all your burdens down
Yours is a glorious heritage
If you are black, or brown
