Scars across the land
A child reaches out a hand
In those hungry eyes
She can’t disguise
The pain she feels inside
Conflict and pain and strife
What’s the value of a life?
In the power game
A shifting of the blame
Clouds hold back their tears
Chorus:
Africa is dying
Hear her children crying in the sun
That’s become too hot
Why’s the world forgotten Africa?
A child with gun in hand
A soldier yet not a man
Innocence is lost
At what a cost
The breezes only sigh
Power, pride and greed
A want is not a need
Will we come to learn
While there are pages to turn
Before God’s anger roars
Chorus:
Africa is dying
Hear her children crying in the sun
That’s become too hot
Why’s the world forgotten Africa?
