Africa Lyrics

Africa lyrics

Look at him cryin'

Just like a western child

'Neath the blazin' sun
though he would not run

He could not run as we would

His tears the
only rain, the earth will know

Wish I could go to hi-im

But what
would I say to him then?



Oh Africa

Let's not forget their
need for lo-ove

Before we turn our heads, close our eyes

Forget
what we despise



Should I offer assistance

Should I say I
care for you

Denyin' the others

His sisters and brothers too

Or leave it for someone else

Like it's been left for me

It's
just so easy to say-ay-ay

Another time, another day-ay



Oh
Africa

Let's not forget their need for lo-ove

Before we turn our
heads, close our eyes

Forget what we despise



Look at him
cryin'

Just like a western child

Wish I could go to hi-im

But
what would I say to him then?

So I'll leave it for someone else

Like
it's been left for me-ee

It's just so easy to say-ay-ay

Another
time, another day-ay



Oh Africa

Let's not forget their need
for lo-ove

Before we turn our heads

Close our eyes

Look away
and ignore the lies

Feed ourselves and enjoy our lives

Forget what
we despise
