Mama Africa
Lyrics
Yeah yeah yeah hear your voice now
Mama Africa rise up rise up
Feel your pain in the midnight rain
Hear your cries but you still remain
[pre-chorus]
They take your gold they take your land
Try to break you but you still stand
No more sorrow no more chains
Mama Africa heal the stains
[chorus]
No more rape no more control
No more chains upon your soul
Rise up now rise up strong
Mama Africa sing your song
[verse]
Your pain turns into power
Roots grow stronger by the hour
Heartbeat loud in every drum
Spirit rising with the sun
[pre-chorus]
They tried to bind they tried to lie
But your fire will never die
No more darkness in your skies
Mama Africa rise and rise
[chorus]
No more rape no more control
No more chains upon your soul
Rise up now rise up strong
Mama Africa sing your song
[verse]
Waking up the sleeping leaders
Speaking to the heart of dreamers
From the dust she knows her name
No more hunger no more shame
[chorus]
No more rape no more control
No more chains upon your soul
Rise up now rise up strong
Mama Africa sing your song
[outro]
