Johnny Clegg & Savuka - Africa (What Made You So Strong) lyrics

Rain falling like a symphony

On the roof top of my heart

There's a movement in the whispering deep

Before the new dream starts

I see your eyes shining like a neon light .

Smiling in the dark - What made you so strong ?

-What made you so strong ?

I've seen you dealing in the market place

Buying political regrets

And you've been walking on the water again

But your feet never ever get wet

But you just say...

Chorus: Afrika kukhala abangcwele

(Africa your innocent weep)

I light a candle for the innocent ones

I light a candle for our love

Say a prayer for peace on earth

For the daughters and the sons

And your life is like a cheap street fight

And you're laughing in the dark - What

Made you so strong ? (repeat)

I've been waiting all my life for this

To see how the deal gees down -

There's an AK 47 on the dashboard

And mercy's left this town, and you say...

Chorus: Afrika kukhala abangcwele !

(Africa your innocent weep...

That's the way

It is.. .What makes you so strong ?
