with Dani

I’m riding on a camel,
Sleeping on a dune.
I’m walking in the jungle
In the afternoon.

And everywhere people stare.
Why at me?
Who is strange? Me or them?
Then we smile, and now we’re friends.

Hassan in Morocco
Nicole in the Congo
I meet a lot of kids
Africa
We look for a leopard
We dance in the desert
We climb a pyramid
Africa

One kid’s from Mali
And one’s from Spain
Another’s from Togo
They’re all the same.
In a Moroccan medina
Or a Libyan bazaar
Many kids, many colors
But just one heart
