[Intro 1]
[Am][D][G][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Time for a change
when people realise
What happened to our brothers
affects our lives
We have to come together
so come, come, come
[Am]And [D]finish where we started,
now done, done, done
Plenty things have gone,
so open your eyes
No holding back no more,
this a conscious time
Speaking bout the future
and me speaking bout Africa
Now a thousand down there
concern us Africa
Everyone think anxious,
it's a father's land Africa
Everyone think anxious,
it's a father's land Africa
Speaking bout the future
and me speaking bout Africa
Now a thousand down there
concern us Africa
Everyone think anxious,
it's a father's land Africa
We get a yes vote in a South Africa,
because we book apartheid
and that chapter,
full -time one man one vote, vote, vote,
we not free till we get the state note, note, note,
just another step, much more to be done,
reformation of the system
have only begun.
Thinkin' bout the future
and we thinkin' bout Africa,
no -one goes
and don't they concern us, Africa.
Everyone think can't just
sit upon us land
Africa
Everyone think can't just
suffer upon us land
Africa
Thinking about the future
and we thinking about [Am]Africa
[D]Now what goes on down there
concern us Africans
Everyone think can't just sit
upon us land Africa
Everyone think can't just
suffer upon us land Africa
We know we see the day
when our blacks are free
Within that continent of such beauty
Over east, west, north and south,
south, south
It's a full atmosphere of people now,
doubt, doubt, doubt
Truth is what me say, I saw reality
People get conscious and
see what I see
Speaking bout the future
and me speaking bout Africa
Power flows and down it comes,
fire in us Africans
Everyone think conscious,
it's a fall of South Africa
Everyone think conscious,
it's a fall of South Africa
Speaking bout the future
and me speaking bout Africa
Power flows and down it comes,
fire in us Africans
Everyone think I'm just a suburban
from South Africa
Everyone think I'm just a suburban
from South Africa
Well apartheid was developed
first in Rhodesia
by the British, the Dutch,
and the Afrikaner
Who exalted their status
by saying they're superior
And telling I and I that we were inferior
It then became the way of
life in South Africa
Under the ruling reign of Big Brother
Time for a change where people realise
What happened to our brothers
affects our lives
We have to come together,
come, come, come
And finish where we started,
no, done, done, done
Plenty things are gone, so open your eyes
No holding back no more,
this a conscious time
Speaking bout the future
and we're speaking bout Africa
Nowhere close and none
a concern as Africa
Well the world as we know
is cruel everywhere
But really USA, how much do you care?
What bugs me out is your hypocrisy
About being such a great democracy
But look at the blood that you shed in war
Like Panama or Vietnam,
what are they for?
Such a loving,
compassionate nation
Shouldn't have such a bloody history
Now we're living in a world
with all types of isms
Political structures under which
we'll live a life of instance
The ism they call communism
Capitalism, socialism, colonialism
Marxism, imperi[D]alism, racism
Oh my [D]God man,
man you know that's a sin
Devil [D]can not win
