Lyrics

Shimoni, oh Shimoni You'll have to find the answer And the answer has been written down In Shimoni, Shimoni We have to find the answer And the answer has been written down In Shimoni, Shimoni, Shimoni, Shimoni There's a hole in the side of Africa Where the walls will speak if you only listen. Walls that tell a tale so sad That the tears on the cheeks of Africa glisten Stand and hear a million slaves Tell you how they walked so far That many died in misery While the rest were sold in Zanzibar. Shimoni, oh Shimoni You'll have to find the answer And the answer has been written down In Shimoni, Shimoni We have to find the answer And the answer has been written down In Shimoni, Shimoni, Shimoni, Shimoni Africa, you are a sleeping child Woken by the kiss of liberty I feel the power of yesterday's madness I feel the fear of the yet to be I feel the power of yesterday calling I feel the power that's been set free I feel the pain and fear surround me Listen to the story that the walls tell me Shimoni, oh Shimoni You'll have to find the answer And the answer has been written down In Shimoni, Shimoni We have to find the answer Cause the answer has been written down In Shimoni, Shimoni, Shimoni, Shimoni Mother, you may think it's over Shut your eyes and walk away I tell you it's just begun And somebody will have to pay for Shimoni Shimoni You'll have to find the answer Cause the answer has been written down In Shimoni, Shimoni We have to find the answer And the answer has been written down In Shimoni, Shimoni, Shimoni, Shimoni Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
