[LYRICS] AFRICAN CHILD || JEREMIAH GYANG ||

All these guns I hear, like lightning and thunder they're raging Zealous they come, the hunger of graves gratifying Thirsty for blood, asking for more! Nations consumed, just can't get enough Hatred increasing at sightings of blood Children continue to see things too crazy Sorrow has made all these young ones a victim Evil became just another green tree Mummy is crying 'cause daddy is dying What kind of pain is too painful to feel Sleep child Dream child Morning begins at the end of the dark Sleep child dream child Morning begins at the end of the dark

I can hear the cries, the cries of the African child I can feel the pain, the pain of the African mother All her hopes are centered on sights from her visions and dreams And all of her songs are sang in the tunes of her pain She has hope for a new life, hope for some peace Long lasting new life, long lasting peace African child, lay down to sleep Mummy will come just to keep you so warm Don't be dismayed by the sorrow and pain Strength will be yours at the end of this path War and starvation have held you a victim Life for the dead is just where you begin These lines I heard from a good friend of mine Words to remind you that you will smile Someday, someway, someone will take you so far away Someday, someway, someone will take you so far away
