Africa |
Rain falling like a symphony |
On the roof top of my heart |
There’s a movement in the whispering deep |
Before the new dream starts |
I see your eyes shining like a neon light |
Smiling in the dark — What made you so strong? |
-What made you so strong? |
I’ve seen you dealing in the market place |
Buying political regrets |
And you’ve been walking on the water again |
But your feet never ever get wet |
But you just say… |
Chorus: Afrika kukhala abangcwele |
(Africa your innocent weep) |
I light a candle for the innocent ones |
I light a candle for our love |
Say a prayer for peace on earth |
For the daughters and the sons |
And your life is like a cheap street fight |
And you’re laughing in the dark — What |
Made you so strong? |
(repeat) |
I’ve been waiting all my life for this |
To see how the deal gees down — |
There’s an AK 47 on the dashboard |
And mercy’s left this town, and you say… |
Chorus: Afrika kukhala abangcwele ! |
(Africa your innocent weep… |
That’s the way |
It is. |
.What makes you so strong? |
