Africa

Look at him cryin' Just like a western child 'Neath the blazin' sun though he would not run He could not run as we would His tears the only rain, the earth will know Wish I could go to him But what would I say to him then? Oh, Africa Let's not forget their need for lo-ove Before we turn our heads, close our eyes Forget what we despise Should I offer assistance Should I say I care for you Denyin' the others His sisters and brothers too Or leave it for someone else Like it's been left for me It's just so easy to say Another time, another day Oh, Africa Let's not forget their need for love Before we turn our heads, close our eyes Forget what we despise Look at him cryin' Just like a western child Wish I could go to hi-im But what would I say to him then? So I'll leave it for someone else Like it's been left for me It's just so easy to say Another time, another day Oh, Africa Let's not forget their need for love Before we turn our heads Close our eyes Look away and ignore the lies Feed ourselves and enjoy our lives Forget what we despise
