United States of Africa Songtext
von Luciano

Whoa, eh-eh-eh-eh
A man can′t raise, yeah
Whoa, eh-eh-eh-oh
A man can't raise

From the tips of Africa
The drums will beat once more (once more, once more)
No more separation for the poor
From the hills of the Congo
Where diamonds lay the floor (ooh-ooh-ooh)
No more separation for the poor

500 years of oppression
The books of Babylon that spread separation (separation)
Yes, we′ll break the chains that has bound us for so long
We'll come together and be strong


From the depths of South Africa like a hurricane
The wind of change will blow (will blow, will blow)
And we'll take our rightful place once more
Yes, from the depths of Africa like a hurricane
The wind of change will blow (will blow, will blow)
And we are the heir to the throne

United States of Africa we′ll be known, we′ll be known
United States of Africa we'll be known, we′ll be known

From the lips of Mama Africa
Her cries go far and wide
Hauling her children by her side
Guns and gays don't hold us anymore
Time for all Africans to arrive
And there is no religion, division
For we all are colorblind
Know that Mama Africa is mine

From the depths of South Africa like a hurricane
The wind of change will blow (will blow, will blow)
And we′ll take our rightful place once more
From the depths of Africa like a hurricane
The wind of change will blow (will blow, will blow)
And we are the ears to the throne


United States of Africa we belong, we belong
Oh yeah
Africa we'll be known
So down and strong and be down
