Why Africa! ! ! ! ! !

Africa,
Remember the sound of Freedom? ,
those voices have gone away,
will they come back?

No! you've lost that spirit,
now it's a gun fire! tra tra traaat
and the bombs kuboooom!

civilians are dying,
for the Politicians doings,
to full their pockets.

Is that your fate Africa?
just look around and think twice
i believe your wise enough.

don't be a puppet i please you.
even a pauper i ask you
just hold yourself and be AFRICA
