Africa - 1927

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
