Can You Feel It

Can you feel it 
Hope you feel the heat now 
Hope you can see through 
The lies and scars of brutality
Hope now you understand 
That they are not meant 
For us 
Hope you see the flames 
Of fire And for sure 
Those are not the flames
Of peace 

Can you feel it 
Can you see them now 
They that promised 
Us heaven on earth 
I knew they lied 
It is obvious Today 
Hope you are still strong 
To stand alone 
Cos we are always alone 
Despite the huge ceremonial
Leadership of no truth 
And justice 
It so sad our towns are 
Full of confusion 
From the east South North 
And west
The heat is hot now 
Can you feel it 



So Tell the world 
What you feel
It does no harm

A Dedication to all victims 
Of conflict in Africa
