A wind of change is blowing Oh, a beautiful wind of change is blowing north of the Sahara At last the people have woken Oh, at last the people want back what was stolen The thieves are terrified Oh, they who stole from the people with one hand ...and covered their mouths with the other in laughter Oooo, they are now so terrified they don’t know where to hide The world has at last become small Oh, so a village is all it was A sister’s cry on the other end Summons a brother’s help from the other end All thanks to the efficiency of the internet Oh, how glad I am to have lived to see Never had I dreamt democracy would come to the East Now daily on my television screen I see Brick after brick, they plaster hope with democracy How I pray that when the masons are done They’d come down South to these parts of the land
