Two sides of the same coin

They call one Africa, the other Europe,

For many, its worlds apart

And yet our history and past makes us

Just two sides of the same coin

For a season, Europeans migrated in numbers from Europe to Africa,

They sort to discover, live and engage – they called it colonisation,

The drivers were the need for resources and opportunities

Now many Africans are moving in their numbers to Europe,

They seek to discover, live and engage

Their drivers too are the need for resources and opportunities

You see, in as much as we are different, we are the same

We are two coins of the same coin

Since our paths keep crossing,

Our problems affect each other,

Isnt it time that we worked together,

And like two sides of the same coin,

Compliment each other’s existence
