Enock Sang Poet Lyric

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
