Africa

Tears across the ocean
cries across the land
don't tell me not to be concerned
cause I don't understand

Your trouble is mine
Your fears I share
your pain I feel
I can't help but care

Not too long ago
I didn't know what apartheid meant
I didn't know the pain going on
I didn't know where justice went

God created us in his image
differences added for spit
we are related in every way
and I think that's rather nice

We've got brothers and sisters
the whole world wide
I'd like to get to know them
and comfort them when they cry
