Say Africa

Vusi Mahlasela Say Africa Lyrics
1.Say Africa

We crossed Zimbabwe's boarder
Flew over the dry fields of my homeland
Coming into Joburg the Sandron swimming pools and Soweto shacks
Airports and railway stations stranded with a ratpack and guitar
The languages and the places change
And the sky has different stars

I may be walking through the streets of a city called London
But the dust on my boots and the rhythm of my feet and my
heartbeat Say Africa
I may be walking in the streets of a city called Amsterdam
But the dust on my boots and the rhythm of my feet and my
heartbeat
Say Africa, Say Africa, Say Africa

Sticks and stones and the UN loans and passport controls
For countries that don't exist
It's a big world and they have their own problems everywhere
And there's gold in that clenched fist
People ask me where I'm from I say Mamelodi township
In City called Tshwane meaning 'we are the same'

I have a great friend who is a great musician
And he's from Ebayi, near King Williams Town
You know where Steve Biko was born
You might have read or seen a film about Africa
You know it's a big continent
With the great gift of Ubuntu

I may be walking through the streets of a city called London
But the dust on my boots and the rhythm of my feet and my
heartbeat Say Africa
I may be walking in the streets of a city called Amsterdam
But the dust on my boots and the rhythm of my feet and my
heartbeat
Say Africa, Say Africa, Say Africa Africa!

7.In Anyway (f. Taj Mahal)

Somebody please wake me up
Up from this nightmare
I cannot believe I am loved by you woman

Somebody please wake me up
Tell me if I'm really here your love scares me so bad
Like a knife in my heart
Ice in my vein
But I'm still willing to be lucky
To be loved by you woman

Oh woman
Strong woman
Beautiful woman
Strong woman
I can't believe I'm loved by you.

I see my angels in your eyes
Telling me I'm bound to love you endlessly
What did I do to deserve you
Oh woman

I'm amazed by your patience, love and understanding.
