Shape of a Broken Heart

Africa has the shape of a broken heart

And the heart of a broken land

Fell from Heaven

Straight to Hell

Now your children are missing

I try to understand

Who I am

Year after years

God, it feels the same

Party favors

Everybody's gone

And no one that I know

Anybody won

Africa has the shape of a broken heart

And the heart of a broken land

Fell from Heaven

Straight to Hell

Now your children are missing

Kiss their forehead and hold their hand

Close their eyes and put a name on their graves

Dust is dust

And so goes our fate

So goes our fate

Africa has the shape of a broken heart

And the heart of a broken land

Fell from Heaven

Straight to Hell

Now your children are missing

And the wind blows

And the children grow

Sitting on the side of a road

Watching all the boats

Africa has the shape of a broken heart

And the heart of a broken land

You fell from Heaven

Straight to Hell

And now your children are missing

Now I understand

Who I am, who I am, who I am

Who I am, who I am

Tell me how, tell me how, tell me how

I can accept the thing

Things that I can't change

Accept the things that I can't change
