O Africa

OH AFRICA

Oh Africa how do you do?
What have you done to me
and me to you.
Why when you cry
Africa weeps.
Why when you smile
The lion sleeps.
Oh Africa you were right
If no one understands you
That's all right.
Oh Africa from me to you
A cry in the wilderness
a cry for you.
You are my reason
You are my life
A page in a book that
Must be read twice.
Oh Africa how do you do?
You can't leave me
and I can't leave you.
