Текст песни My Africa - Antonio Lyons feat. Refilwe Mandumo

My Africa
My Africa
My Africa

More than just a dream
More than Tarzan and wild animals
More than genocides & patricides
And babies sentenced to death before they are born

My Africa
My Africa

More than buzzing flies
More than conflict diamonds
More than upheaval because of oil
More than Western aid
More than refugees with, no where to lay their heads

My Africa
My Africa

More than a BBC, Skye TV, Al Jazeera, CNN highlight
More than a National Geographic special
More than a foot-note in history

My Africa
My Africa

More than pain with no joy
More than death with no life
More than grief with no sigh
My Africa...
My Africa where laughter rims the Earth
And shades the sky in majestic purples and royal blues

My Africa

My Africa where... My Africa
Here the sun rises, illuminating hearts and minds
My Africa where artists speak their
Minds - even when the gun is at their door
When a last breathe sings a freedom song
Liberate my soul,
Liberate my wallet, liberate my mind, liberate my pain

My Africa
My Africa

Birthing designers and style icons
Birthing music for the new age
The time where technology reigns
And house musics' re-birth is fueled by the soil that let it stand
Birthing new ways crafted from old ways they heal a nations pain
Birthing dreams fresh and alive no longer still born
Rotten ideas from damaged minds

My Africa
My Africa

N'degenini, B'otonayho (until end of song)
