africa ashé
Few have cried out for you
but our rainbows forsake no colour
these rainbows are You and I
I and You let them bow above
chorus
A whisper we are
unheard just about
our life in a breeze passing by
a whisper we are
to a deaf world`s noise
our life in a breeze passing by
a whisper we are
unheard just about but
but you please come in on your song
a real world means
this your song come on strong
to Africa viva n` Ken Saro-Wiwa ashé
These times they keep a`screaming
though not to much avail I`m afraid
`cause few of the mighty listen
not much of the rich folk care
These times they keep a`screaming
though not to much avail I`m afraid
just few of the brave be anywhere near
when the poor kids come ask for their share
You`re a dead man they say - make Africa mourn
but not to much avail I`m afraid
let this be for you - just where can you be found
you deserve just a little bit more
can we ever take you home - to Africa viva
you deserve just a little bit more
let this be for you - can we ever take you home
you deserve just a little bit more
Few have cried out for you
but our rainbows forsake no colour
these rainbows are You and I
I and You let them bow above
chorus
