Song for Africa Lyrics

Spoken:
"No war on the face of the earth is more destructive than the AIDS pandemic" (Colin Powell)

v1

Driving down the road
Billboards at the side
Sell you everything you want
To fill your easy life
And for now we'll be alright
For now we'll be ok
Cause we can watch the sunset on another perfect day

prech:

They say it's just the way it is
Nothing's ever gonna change
There's nothing we can do about it

ch:

I don't want to live my life in ignorance
People think it's safe to plead indifference
Why, do people have to die?
It isn't that hard to make a difference
All it takes is a little persistence
I, think we should try

v2

Thousands of people die
With millions unaware
We think it's cool to be cavalier
We ignore cause it's over there (for now)
We will be alright (for now)
And we will be ok (for now)
Cause we can watch the sunrise on another perfect day

prech 2
ch 2

Bridge:

Stop your crying
Their pain is
Our pain
Please start trying

Are we listening?
In the end we are all the same
Daughters and sons are
Suffering

Rap:

Now their pain is our pain
Their loss is our loss
Sometimes we forget
Cause it ain't happening on our blocks
But people dying out there
Got babies born with a cross to bear
Now sometimes we sit here say our days our boring
Over there some don't see next morning
And when they're a coughin'
That means a coffin
My heart is hurting we must do something
God bless the world
Man, woman and child
If you ain't done good in awhile...

ch 3 and 4

Spoken:
"Where you live, should no longer determine whether you live." (Bono)
