I woke up in the middle of dawn to sing and dance and curse at the African continent
For I couldn’t take no more of the struggling and suffering of my fellow country-men
For I couldn’t stand no longer to watch my kind drown dead in HIV, hunger and poverty
Sorrow and pain
Pain with no gain
Africa I mourn
African dawn
For darkness has now come with peace
And a feeling of ease,
I go down on my knees to say a prayer,
And hope for better,
For Africa is my continent
For in Africa I have confidence
