African Child Lyrics

African Child Lyrics by MASH

Born in a rich land of Africa
Too innocent to conceive the heaven in disguise..mnnhhh
Raised in less fortune homes and eager to make a difference
But having no means...to let their dreams hatch
Frail hope ever despair
Is the only light they see through the dark tunnel..mmnnhhh
Left to the hands of the merciful
Life is taught you in the toughest way
They take your kindness for weakness
The silence for being in there speechless
They don't know the pain you seethe within...you

Coz you're an African child (Africa)
Coz you're an African child (Africa)
Coz you're an African child (Africa)
Africa yeah oh

Raised up here in Africa
Grew up in Africa
Am a born of Africa
I breathe Africa

Coz you're an African child (Africa)
Coz you're an African child (Africa)
Coz you're an African child (Africa)
Africa yeah oh

Born in a rich land of Africa
Too innocent to conceive the heaven in disguise
Raised in less fortune homes and eager to make a difference
But having no means...to let their dreams hatch
Frail hope ever despair
Is the only light they see through the dark tunnel
Left to the hands of the merciful
Life is taught you in the toughest way
They take your kindness for weakness
The silence for being in there speechless
They don't know the pain you seethe within...you

Coz you're an African child (Africa)
Coz you're an African child (Africa)
Coz you're an African child (Africa)
Africa yeah oh

Raised up here in Africa
Grew up in Africa
Am a born of Africa
I breathe Africa

Coz you're an African child (Africa)
Coz you're an African child (Africa)
Coz you're an African child (Africa)
Africa yeah oh

Fragile they be
No sympathetic measures
Rendered prone to...any evil that comes there
But your heart so big
They judge you when hardly know you
You got a big heart... mmnhhh

Coz you're an African child (Africa)
Coz you're an African child (Africa)
Coz you're an African child (Africa)
Africa yeah oh
