Afrika kukhala abangcwele
EAfrika kukhala abangcwele wena
Afrika kukhala abangcwele
EAfrika kukhala abangcwele wena
Hlala
Hlala

Rain falling like a symphony on the rooftop of my heart
There's a movement in the silent deep before the big dream starts
I see you're eyes shining like a neon light
You just smiling in the dark, ohh what made you so strong
What made you so strong

I've seen you walking in the marketplace
You buy political regrets
You've been walking on the water again
You know you're feet never get wet
You just say

Afrika kukhala abangcwele
EAfrika kukhala abangcwele wena
Afrika kukhala abangcwele
EAfrika kukhala abangcwele wena
Hlala
Hlala

I say a prayer for the innocent ones
And I say a prayer for our love
I say a prayer for peace of the earth
For the daughters and the sons

While your life unfolds like a cheap street fight
And you're just smiling in the dark
Ohh what made you so strong
What made you so strong

I've been waiting all my life for this
To see how the deal gees down
And there's an AK 47 on the dashboard
You know mercy's left town and you say

Afrika kukhala abangcwele
EAfrika kukhala abangcwele wena
Afrika kukhala abangcwele
EAfrika kukhala abangcwele wena
Hlala

Afrika kukhala abangcwele
EAfrika kukhala abangcwele wena
Afrika kukhala abangcwele
EAfrika kukhala abangcwele wena

Afrika kukhala abangcwele
EAfrika kukhala abangcwele wena
Afrika kukhala abangcwele
EAfrika kukhala abangcwele wena
Hlala
Hlala
