Johnny Wakelin - Africa Man 1977
Gold Coast
Kenya
Belgian Congo
Tanyannika and Zululand
They took those people across the water
to Southern States and the Carribean.
Africa, Africa, African Man.
You can't hide your head in the sand
Who was sold to the new-found land.
Your brothers and sisters
(your brothers and sisters)
Your brothers and sisters
(your brothers and sisters)
Your brothers and your sisters
(African Man)
All they wanted was their freedom
freedom from the trader man
They had heart and soul and rhythm
rhythm spread all over the land.
I said
who got the music? (African Man).
Who got the soul now? (African Man).
Who got the rhythm? (African Man).
Somebody took those people by the hand.
Africa, Africa, African Man.
Africa, Africa, African Man.
Africa, Africa, African Man.
Africa, Africa, Africa
