歌詞
Music on the congas
Sound of Africa’s heart beating
Listen to the sound of the Congo
and Nile rivers
It’s the sound of the blood rushing
Through my veins
I am Africa
Africa is me
Me/ American born
Innocent victim of forced abortion
Cleaved from Africa’s womb
Over 300 years ago
And still she bleeds
Dripping blood for her freedom
South Africa screams
In pain/ in anger
Screams and cries
As her children fight to cleanse her
Of an infectious disease
“Apartheid”
I am Africa
Africa is me
Unashamed
I stand proud in the nakedness
Of my stripped heritage
I speak despite my ripped out tongue
I still have God
Despite my stolen religion
Africa
Take me in the cradle of your arms
Rock me to the rhythm of your sou
Let me suck knowledge from your breasts
Of chocolate history
And it flows
I grow
I learn
I know
That I am yours
You are mine
The served umbilical cord of doors links us
I am Africa
Africa is me.
