African Dream
Dreaming of African sunshine
The rain ain’t gonna get me down
Because I believe in my African dream
of rainbows for every child
If there’s a child with a smile
there is sunshine
Sunshine, yeah, sunshine
So wipe away the tears and get past all your fears
Though this country is filled with shadows and grief
To rob others of joy will make you a thief
Gotta give love to the children, aweh
Uthanda wena umlilo
Uthanda wena umlilo
Keep on dreaming, just keep on dreaming
Dreaming of African sunshine
We’ve got a lot of healing to do
We gonna spread the words of joy
to every girl and boy
We gonna gather our harvest of blessings
and shower it down on the world
We gonna ripen like fruit on the tree
to a nation that’s positively free
Rays of sunshine, ahem
Ooh, rays of sunshine, ahem
We gonna shine so brightly
and dance so lightly
Let the children of Africa sing
Give us a sunshiny life
Just give us a chance to shine
We gonna shine, yeah, we gonna shine, aweh
Uthanda wena umlilo
Uthanda wena umlilo
Dreaming of African sunshine
We gonna shine , we gonna shine, we gonna shine
