Take A Look
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Way over in Ethiopia. When my little brother wake.
He have no food to eat,
No clothes to wear, no place to go.
What can his mother say?
What can his father do?
What can his mother say?
What can his father do?
Take a look at Africa, take a look in a Africa.
Ooh what a struggle. Sufferation. Starvation.
Come in liberation.
What can his mother say? What can his father do?
What can his mother say? What can his father do?
Take a look in a Africa.
Take a look in a Africa.
Take a look in a Africa.
Take a look in South Africa, yes America.
Talk to Mandela.
Come in England. Come in England.
Say what you can, what you can.
Say what you can what you can,
To Nelson Mandela. To Nelson Mandela
Take a look in a Africa.
Take a look in a Africa.
Way over in Ethiopia,
When my little brother wake,
He have no food to eat,
He have no clothes to wear,
He have no place to go.
What can his mother say?
What can his father do?
What can his mother say?
What can his father do?
Take a look in a Africa.
Take a look in a Africa.
Take a look in a Africa.
