I've been thinking of you
My beautiful Mama Africa
I can see your beautiful eyes, oh Mama
Shinning softly with wisdom and strength
From ancient of times to this generation
Your roots remain unshakeable, Mama
The high minded fools think you are pathetic
The simplicity of your royalty truly majestic
Aye Mama Africa, of thee I sing
Say Mama Africa

Mama, Mama, Mama

Mama, Mama, Mama
Mama Africa
Ahan yeah
There's a question that's been on my mind
You are the richest of all the lands
But you are enslaved by so many hands
Beautiful animals graze your fields
Your fertile soils blossom with green
Your nations are blessed
With natural resource
Too many dark nights have come and gone
Through the passage of time
You're still standing strong
I just don't understand
How can the richest be a beggar
How can the richest be a beggar
How can the richest be a beggar
How can the richest be a beggar

The world keeps on spinning (round and round)
The time keeps on changing (day and night)
Everywhere I go your children are crying
Bound in chains controlled by oppressors
Hypnotized with spells controlled by oppressors
Your children are so strong (oh yeah)
Your children are so gifted (oh yeah)
Aye help us remember who we are
Mama Africa, take your rightful place
How can these Kings and Queens go living as slaves
How can these Kings and Queens go living as slaves
How can these Kings and Queens go living as slaves
How can these Kings and Queens go living as slaves

So many crooks and thieves have come
In the name of investments and foreign aids
Stealing the children's bread (oh yeah)
Too much corruption (oh yeah)
Mama Africa, your blessings still remain
You gave to this world human life
You gave to this world civilization
I just don't understand
How can the richest be a beggar
How can the richest be a beggar
How can the richest be a beggar
How can the richest be a beggar
