Inside a green little house
 no sunshine reaches the floor
 she came from africa
 so tight her hands were tied
 to a worn wooden chair
 she arrived from africa

 By boat she travelled far
 in a cage like an animal
 whips and chains... crying her eyes out
 no sun below the deck
 no chance of escaping
 she lived in africa

 Tonight she's left alone
 healing her scars again
 she closes her eyes (why)

 Thinking about the children
 my fate they're gonna share
 work the days, abused at night
 I wan't, I wan't my...

 ...Africa
 i'm trapped in a house in a land without hope
 there's no way out of here
 endless crying and i raise my voice
 save the young ones sorrow and pain

 Let them out, let them play
 Let them out, let them play

 She wanted to believe in the rumours
 that reached the door

 A village was built
 for some 20000 people
 by slaves from Africa

 If they only knew that her brother died
 a day before the question
 it wasn't meant to be

 no slave that she could follow
 to the border of alagoas

 The smell of death is here
 a squalid, dreadful time
 she closes her eyes (oh why)

 Self destructive thinking
 her crave for lust is gone
 work the days, abused at night
 I wan't my...

 ...Africa
 i'm trapped in a house in a land without hope
 there's no way out of here
 endless crying and i raise my voice
 save the young ones sorrow

 Border of alagoas
 children without a childhood
 no freedom, no games to play
 children of innocence

 Let them out, let them play

 Tonight she's left alone
 healing her scars again
 she closes her eyes (oh why)

 Self destructive thinking
 her crave for lust is gone
 work the days, abused at night

 Africa
 I'm trapped in a house in a land without hope
 there's no way out of here
 endless crying and i raise my voice
 save the young ones sorrow

 In a land without hope
 there's no way out of here
 endless crying and i raise my voice
 save the young ones sorrow and pain
