Afrika kukhala abangcwele EAfrika kukhala abangcwele wena Afrika kukhala abangcwele EAfrika kukhala abangcwele wena Hlala Hlala He was born in the African dawn and orphaned to the land So gentle in the eye he was as any woman's child Repeat Afrika As he grew people told him, son, don't you trust anyone You learn how to trust a stone This is not gentle and then it breaks those Who never learned how to be alone Repeat Afrika And so he walked in the fashion of his lands Until at last he cried out Can anybody hear me, hear me, hear the song in my heart There's a song to be sung that can heal these broken men Let us sing and we'll walk through the dark Hand in hand, hand in hand Repeat Afrika; move it up a half step or so and repeat again
