Africa Man

Gold Coast, Kenya, Belgian Congo
Tanganyika and Zululand
They took those people across the water
To Southern States and the Caribbean.
Africa. Africa, Africa Man.

They had heart and soul and rhythm
Rhythm spread all over the land.
I said who got the music? Africa Man.
Who got the soul now? Africa Man.
Who got the rhythm? Africa Man.
Somebody took those people by the hand.

You can't hide your head in the sand
Who was sold to the new-found land.
Your brothers and sisters
Your brothers and sisters
Your brothers and your sisters, Africa Man
AII they wanted was their freedom
Freedom from the trader man

Africa, Africa, Africa Man.
Africa, Africa, Africa Man.
Africa, Africa, Africa Man.
