Lyrics of United States of Africa By Demba Conta 1986
I've been mourning - I've been grieving I've been crying - No more tears in my eyes
There's a hot hot wind blowing south to the north Felling all my huts - drying all my plants Peanuts and corn drowning in a hot sand My beans and rice are fainting in a hot mud Why not unite the States of Africa?
If there is mercy in the clouds Which knows righ is never wrong Then move the saddle off my back - Right now
UNITED STATES - UNITED STATES - UNITED STATES OF AFRICA
Tribulation is sneaking in my neighbourhood All my siblings are freightened before the Mighty Lord So I am calling reggae kids to give me humble hands To pass the calabash to the right hands once In a United Stats of Africa
Oh Lord - Let my ears hear the good news
Oh me say Here comes the news from the Mighty lord Tranquilaty is about to come to the earth Reggae is digging a river from the north to the south To let milk and horny flow side by side In a United Stats of Africa
Both the left and right wing believe that God is dead Hoodlums turn to kings in my father's land That is why ANC is about to teach the old dog to sit The impossible just takes a little longer In A United States of Africa
If there are people in the world Who know that right is never wrong Stop the fire in my home - Right now
I'm calling big guys from the pyramid top to join bits and pieces of our Father's land Cause without boundries we can move mountains To grass all the deserts and grow rice and beans In a United States of Africa
Hey - Drop your individual ambitions Chase the Devil from our home Purify our Father's land - Right now
African people - Crawl from the vultures - Stand firm Cause you are the aura of Mankind You are the dreams - You are the hopes You are the future of all Mankind You are the grandfather of civilization
Ning sangi balu nata esina kunkoli gibong ning wame balu nata asina manulu mondi N'bah ning n'fa la Africa
A clear conscience fears no accusation - proverb from Sierra Leone
