African Children

African Children they sleep at night with belly's empty rolling in the dirt to comfort their sore's hands, eyes, feet Marley & Tosh sang of their freedom's cry Torn illumination Elephant screams Disappearing act through the night A call to provide U.N.I.C.E.F. to their great cause Blood soaked streets with the militia in upheaval tired politicians in support of apartheid run to the hills with cheap thrills A balance of power Mandela's voice is still heard beyond the grave Desmond Tutu reclaims his title and cause for freedom's cry Bono can only do so much A beacon of light to a hurting world in need of love Equal rights & justice for all of Africa's children how you had fought so hard and fierce there truest love is gone from here A challenge to be free is a question of time One solution is using their minds Living on the edge and its going to their heads Sitting up at night all alone in bed Following the rainbow to the sky We see a vision of them pass right by There war were in is almost over It's so hard to believe but they love each other. Celebrate Beko and the freedom's call
