Aah yeah ah ya
A pastor had a dream so many years ago
Despite Obama, your children are still targeted
In the land of human rights, of equality
Another young black man on the ground on the televised news
I'm tired ah, I'm tired
The ghosts of the past continue to haunt you

My love
Africa my love
I see you crying your children from all over the world
Africa my love, Africa my love
My heart is hurt because nothing has really changed

With heart and eyes open, I would like to live this dream
Where equality is not just a word for some men of law
Live this awake dream where I could tell my three babies
That their skin color will never be a debate
But I'm terrified ah, I'm terrified
The horrors of the past are still relevant

My love
Africa my love
I see you crying your children from all over the world
Africa my love, Africa my love
My heart is hurt because nothing has really changed

Enough is enough, enough is enough
(Enough is enough, enough is enough)
Your tears shed, your blood spilled
(Your tears shed, enough is enough)
Enough is enough, enough is enough
(Enough is enough, enough is enough)
Your children dream that you find peace
(Your children dream that you find peace)
Enough is enough, enough is enough
(Enough is enough, enough is enough)
Your tears shed, your blood spilled
(Your tears shed, enough is enough)
Enough is enough, enough is enough
(Enough is enough, enough is enough)
Your children dream that you find peace

My love
Africa my love (My love, my love)
I see you crying your children from all over the world
Africa my love, Africa my love
My heart is hurt because nothing has really changed
