Song of Lament
After awhile you start to wonder
What have we done? 'Cause we keep pulling at the bottom
Whether it's slavery
Whether it's poverty
Whether it's finding honest people who can stand for us
Whether it's slavery
Whether it's poverty
Whether it's finding honest people who can stand for us
Ebu niambie, ebu niambie,
Ebu niambie uliyoyatenda
Oh Mama Africa, Oh Mama Africa, Oh Mama Africa
Ebu niambie
Oh Mama Africa, Oh Mama Africa, Oh Mama Africa
Ebu niambie
It's even crazier, when we can't stand each other
And we take the lives of those we think don't belong
For a people who've suffered so much, where is compassion
For a people who've suffered so much, where is compassion
Ebu niambie, ebu niambie,
Ebu niambie uliyoyatenda
Oh Mama Africa, Oh Mama Africa, Oh Mama Africa
Ebu niambie
Oh Mama Africa, Oh Mama Africa, Oh Mama Africa
Ebu niambie
Kwani Mungu ame tusahau
Kwani Mungu ame tusahau
Kutoka Mashariki, hadi Kaskazini
Watu wanalia, woiye, woiye, woiye
Kutoka Magharibi, teremka Kusini
Watu wanalia, woiye, woiye, woiye
Woiye, woiye, woiye
Woiye, woiye, woiye
Kwani Mungu ame tusahau
Mama Africa, Mama Africa, Mama Africa
Ebu niambie
Mama Africa, Mama Africa, Mama Africa
Ebu niambie
Mama Africa, Mama Africa, Mama, Mama Africa
What have we done? 'Cause we keep pulling at the bottom
Whether it's slavery
Whether it's poverty
Whether it's finding honest people who can stand for us
Whether it's slavery
Whether it's poverty
Whether it's finding honest people who can stand for us
Ebu niambie, ebu niambie,
Ebu niambie uliyoyatenda
Oh Mama Africa, Oh Mama Africa, Oh Mama Africa
Ebu niambie
Oh Mama Africa, Oh Mama Africa, Oh Mama Africa
Ebu niambie
It's even crazier, when we can't stand each other
And we take the lives of those we think don't belong
For a people who've suffered so much, where is compassion
For a people who've suffered so much, where is compassion
Ebu niambie, ebu niambie,
Ebu niambie uliyoyatenda
Oh Mama Africa, Oh Mama Africa, Oh Mama Africa
Ebu niambie
Oh Mama Africa, Oh Mama Africa, Oh Mama Africa
Ebu niambie
Kwani Mungu ame tusahau
Kwani Mungu ame tusahau
Kutoka Mashariki, hadi Kaskazini
Watu wanalia, woiye, woiye, woiye
Kutoka Magharibi, teremka Kusini
Watu wanalia, woiye, woiye, woiye
Woiye, woiye, woiye
Woiye, woiye, woiye
Kwani Mungu ame tusahau
Mama Africa, Mama Africa, Mama Africa
Ebu niambie
Mama Africa, Mama Africa, Mama Africa
Ebu niambie
Mama Africa, Mama Africa, Mama, Mama Africa
