Koos Kombuis - African Skyline songtekst
Je score:
There's a warrior searching for lines in the sand But the footprints of time have erased All the tracks from the land There's a woman who's waiting by the side of a shack With paint on her face and the sun on her back She's dreaming of friendship, she's hoping for love But suffering, hunger and black is all she understands African skyline African skyline There's a lioness standing, she's sniffing the air She's afraid that a fire is raging somewhere on the plain She's afraid that the soldiers with guns will come back again No one can remember who started this war Few comprehend whatever they died for The guerrillas are sponsored by men with an appetite for pain All they desire is the blood of the slain It's a struggle for unlawful profits and gain African skyline African skyline Your leaders are lying Your children are dying African skyline The trails of the fighters are stretching like scars As the screams of their victims reach up to the stars There's nowhere to hide, there's no blanket to warm you No peace from the village, no eyes of the storm You can run, you can flee You can stumble and fall, or you can fight The cease fire will end with a slaughter by dawn's early light African skyline African skyline Your leaders are lying Your children are dying Your hunters are shooting Your tsotsis are looting African skyline African skyline African skyline
