Did you remember me today
Or has my voice got swept away?
Just say my name
And then we'll break the chain
somehow it never reigns in Africa
I feel betrayed
By all the soldier games
Why aren't we all the same for God above?
Walking in to the desert passing through the fire
Watching other children, looking at their smiles
Running to the heart beat, drumming on for miles
Searching for the water of life
Please turn me away
So we can dance again
Someday it all will change for Africa
Give me a face
I must not be erased
Why can't we celebrate like sacred doves?
Walking in to the desert passing through the fire
Watching other children, looking at their smiles
Running to the heart beat, drumming on for miles
Searching for the water of life
Searching for the water of life
Did you remember me today?
Or has my voice got swept away?
Just say my name
And then we'll break the chain
somehow it never reigns in Africa
I feel betrayed
By all the soldier games
Why aren't we all the same for God above?
Walking in to the desert passing through the fire
Watching other children, looking at their smiles
Running to the heart beat, drumming on for miles
Searching for the water of life
Please turn me away
So we can dance again
Someday it all will change for Africa
Give me a face
I must not be erased
Why can't we celebrate like sacred doves?
Walking in to the desert passing through the fire
Watching other children, looking at their smiles
Running to the heart beat, drumming on for miles
Searching for the water of life
Searching for the water of life
Did you remember me today?
