The Face Of Africa

I see in the face of Africa

Her hungry heart is calling...

(woman)

Cries for a living seed

For the suffering mouths of her babies...

She is the face of Africa

Her silent tears are falling...

(woman)

Looks for the hand that feeds

And she carries her endless grief

Upon her shoulders...

In my heart

I hear the voice of Africa

Let my children come

(Like a prayer upon the wind)

Heal the scars upon

The face of Africa

Let them beat as one...

I see in the face of Africa

Her thousand cities calling...

(woman)

I am the one that bleeds

So be the mother to the child in me...

She is the face of Africa

Her sun is slowly falling...

(woman)

While the world is half asleep

Let me carry your endless grief

Upon my shoulders...

In my heart

I hear the voice of Africa

Let my children come

(Like a prayer upon the wind)

Heal the scars upon

The face of Africa

Let them be as one...

In my heart

I hear the voice of Africa

Let my children come

(Like a prayer upon the wind)

Heal the scars upon

The face of Africa

Let them be as one...
