Mama Africa (Afro Soul) Lyrics

Описание: This lyric video celebrates the soul, strength, and spiritual wealth of Africa that can never be stolen.
They took the harvest, but we kept the seed.

Lyrics
The mist acts like a crown upon the green hills
Where the Zambezi flows and the spirit fills.
Copper in the veins, emerald in the eye
We hold the wealth that money cannot buy.
From the lungs of the Congo to the Sahara heat
The earth is alive beneath our bare feet.
They saw the shine, they wanted the prize
But they missed the galaxy hidden in our eyes.

They dug for the silver, they dug for the oil
They tried to bleed the life from the golden soil.
But how do you empty a cup that is endless?
How do you break a root that is boundless?
We are the tree that bends but never breaks.

Africa Ehhh!
Mama, Mama, Mama, Mama...
Africa Ehhh!
They took the harvest, but we kept the seed.
Mama, Mama, Mama, Mama... Africa.
You are the garden that satisfies every need.

They loaded the ships and they sailed away
But the rhythm remained, it decided to stay.
In the weave of the Kente, in the beat of the chest
We are the dynasty, we are the blessed.
Rich in the laughter, rich in the rain
Standing tall in the sun, standing tall in the pain.
We are not victims of a stolen past
We are the first breath, and we are the last.

Africa Ehhh!
Mama, Mama, Mama, Mama...
Africa Ehhh!
They took the harvest, but we kept the seed.
Mama, Mama, Mama, Mama... Africa.
You are the garden that satisfies every need.

Look at the skin black gold.
Look at the story never fully told.
For every diamond they cut from the stone
We grew a king on a spiritual throne.
You cannot loot the soul!
You cannot steal the light!
We rise in the morning!
We shine in the night!

Still standing... (Africa)
Still rich... (Africa)
My Mama, My Mama, My Mama...
You are the cradle.
You are the grave.
You are the free.
You are the brave.
Africa Ehhh...
