Africa - Johnny Clegg, Soweto Gospel Choir

Rain falling like a symphony

On the roof top of my heart

There’s a movement in the whispering deep

Before the new dream starts

I see your eyes shining like a neon light

Smiling in the dark — What made you so strong?

-What made you so strong?

I’ve seen you dealing in the market place

Buying political regrets

And you’ve been walking on the water again

But your feet never ever get wet

But you just say…

Chorus: Afrika kukhala abangcwele

(Africa your innocent weep)

I light a candle for the innocent ones

I light a candle for our love

Say a prayer for peace on earth

For the daughters and the sons

And your life is like a cheap street fight

And you’re laughing in the dark — What

Made you so strong?

(repeat)

I’ve been waiting all my life for this

To see how the deal gees down —

There’s an AK 47 on the dashboard

And mercy’s left this town, and you say…

Chorus: Afrika kukhala abangcwele !

(Africa your innocent weep…

That’s the way

It is.

.What makes you so strong?
