Lyrics

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 got so far
But many died in misery
While the rest were sold in Zanzibar
Shimoni, Shimoni
We have to find the answer
And the answer could be written down in Shimoni
Shimoni
We have to find the answer
And the answer could be written down in Shimoni
Shimoni
Shimoni
Shimoni
Africa, you are a sleeping giant
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 dawning
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 about
Shimoni, Shimoni
We have to find the answer
And the answer could be written down in Shimoni
Shimoni
We have to find the answer
And the answer could be written down in Shimoni
Shimoni
Shimoni
Shimoni
Brother, 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
We have to find the answer
And the answer could be written down in Shimoni
Shimoni
We have to find the answer
And the answer could be written down in Shimoni
Shimoni
Shimoni
Shimoni
