We need to have peace in Africa
And we have to stop every carnage
Homicide, bloodshed, killing of our brothers
War here, war there, war everywhere
We destroy our own future
As we rape and kill our children
Hu Mama Africa
Lord we pray for Mama Africa
See her children fight against each other
Politicians craving for power
And the rebels trying to stop them
Killing women and children
Who know nothing 'bout the war
Hu Mama Africa
Hear the screaming, hear the wailing
Hear the moaning, hear the groaning
Children dying, women crying
Oh why, hu Mama Africa
Lord we pray again for Mama Africa
See her people divided in the land
Brutalities on every hand
Please Lord unite us so we can stand
Tribalism, nepotism, favouritism
Takes the place of Africanism
See, see
See, see
See, see, see, everywhere
We surely need
We need freedom in Africa
We really want
We want justice in Africa
We surely need
We need unity in Africa
We really want
We want progress in Africa
Oh yes, hu Mama Africa
