Africa's Cry

As the sun-kissed down, people want to scatter All of the time, they are suspicious of the surroundings Gun sounds and blasts heard and seen It's almost tearing the continent apart If we don't resort for a solution The problem won't become small, it would increase As a tumor cell that grows from within We trust those who question our judgment Our choices Is a discussion, is that how it's suppose to be? Can't lie no more, what's worth hiding? Yet it can be seen with a keen eye Africa's cries, do you hear or do you ignore? As we try to make steps, they put a banana peel on the way Tell me, should we act with a blind eye? Be deaf to those who speak the truth? Our girls are been taken by force, can't there be a way to get them back? Our young men are been put to silence for bravery Soldiers on the land, patrolling where they are comrades have fallen Counting the causalities from the cause For a moment, let's be silent The 21 gun salute has to be fired We pray for safety when a situation comes Is this how it should be? Can't really know Don't be the smart one, even you know you always question yourself Children, mothers and fathers all in need Dying of hunger, thirst and cold They told me to leave the world a better than I found it Only for me to realize that we making it worse Mama give me your blessings Papa teach me the ways of the Golden era Ss Africa pleads, I also cry with her Don't worry Mama, thinks will change I know son, I wish they could see what I have seen
