Africa

Born in the sunshine, long time ago

This land of milk and honey gave all it had to grow

We took your sons and daughters

And made them to slaves

Now times have started changing

You're sending out new waves

Africa - your people will be free

There will be a new society

Africa - they tried to put you down

Let's join hands, stop live in underground

This land, this land's for Black and White

Join hands and make things alright

'Cos there's still so much to do

'Cos there's still so much to do, let's start again

There's still so much to do in Africa

You had no education, so we took everything

We stole your gold and diamonds

To make our people sing

And in your darkest ages we even took your land

We split up all your country - you don't understand

Liberia, Zaire, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Angola

Mozambique, Nigeria, Ghana, Zimbabwe

And all the parts of Africa

This land, this land's for Black and White

Join hands and make things alright

'Cos there's still so much to do

'Cos there's still so much to do, let's start again

There's still so much to do in Africa
