Lyrics
Africa
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.
No one beyond the capital
They heard them into trucks like animals
With no food for a hundred miles or more
So take them back to familiar shores
There's no shame in wanting what others call a home
And one day you will wake up and know you're not alone
And know you're not alone
Oh poor the shadow I feed
(Without adventure nothing gained)
It rings out throw the camps like a protest song
(Will I ever see you again)
Walking under the dark red sky
(Without adventure nothing gained)
Wash away the last of the light
(I'll never see you again)
There's no shame in wanting what others call a home
And one day you will wake up and know you're not alone
And know you're not alone
Not alone
And don't start to run
They're not afraid to put you down
So don't run
So don't run
'cause they're not afraid
Not afraid to put you down
So don't run
They're not afraid
To put you down
They're not afraid
To put you down
They're not afraid
To put you down
They're not afraid
To put you down
