Born in the sunshine, long time ago This land of milk and honey gave all it had to grow We took your sons and daughters And made them to slaves Now times have started changing You're sending out new waves Africa - your people will be free There will be a new society Africa - they tried to put you down Let's join hands, stop live in underground This land, this land's for Black and White Join hands and make things alright 'Cos there's still so much to do 'Cos there's still so much to do, let's start again There's still so much to do in Africa You had no education, so we took everything We stole your gold and diamonds To make our people sing And in your darkest ages we even took your land We split up all your country - you don't understand Liberia, Zaire, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Angola Mozambique, Nigeria, Ghana, Zimbabwe And all the parts of Africa This land, this land's for Black and White Join hands and make things alright 'Cos there's still so much to do 'Cos there's still so much to do, let's start again There's still so much to do in Africa
