African Boy

I so I wanna be somebody

Ah ! I left my home so far away

In a search for something new

Ah ! The rugged road I walk it seems l Seems to have no end

Ah ! Even though I try so hard

They're still trying to keep me down

Ah! Sufferation is all I see

And it's all that I know

So put your hand in mine, African brothe

There ain't no mountain we cannot climb, I so I...

Now that I know I feel it in my soul

African boy- Oh this solid rock I stand

African boy-Trying to be somebody

African boy - I 'm black and I 'm proud

African boy - I 'm a third world man

Ah ! We're different colors but we're one

Don't you understand

I can smell the future in the air

It s blowing everywhere

Darkness instead of light

Nothing seems to be right

So put your hand in mine, African brother

There ain't no mountain we cannot climb, I so I...

Now that I know I feel it in my soul

Some people talk about black

Some people talk about white

But the only color I know

Is sweet sweet love

I share it with my mother

And I share it with my sisters

I share it with my father

And I share it with my friends

See, you can't judge a man by the color of his skin

Nor you can judge a book by the color of its cover

Black me black and that s the natural fact

Black me black and me no look back

African boy...
