In Zimbabwe's land, where the sun beats down, A culture thrives, with art so full of grace, Shona sculpture stands, with beauty all around, A symbol of the land, so wild and free.
With three faces rare, it tells a tale so true, Of thoughtful minds, at rest with all they see, And when we gaze, we find a world anew, A land of beauty, full of mystery.
The first face speaks, of wisdom and of age, Of stories told, and lessons to be learned, The second face, a picture of a sage, Of restful minds, with knowledge to be earned.
And in the third, we find a peaceful grace, A symbol of a land that's unconfined, A beauty rare, that never leaves its place, And in our hearts, it always stays enshrined.
