Angel of Africa
A maiden rises early
She's an angel of the dawn
Smell of wood smoke burning she'll cook supper all day long
She walked down to the river dodging cattle as they roam
She's a lovely maiden, she's a voice of Africa
Angel, angel of Africa
Angel, angel of Africa
As she's walking through the bushes with a pot poised on her head
She's singing to the rhythm while she dreams of what's ahead
She knows the joys of hunger she has lost the man she loved
She's a lovely maiden a voice of Africa
Angel, angel of Africa
Angel, angel of Africa
She knows the joys of hunger she has just lost the man she loved
Love is like a lost place to her
My angel the continent of Africa is not big enough to hold my love for you
You're not just a lover to me
Your beauty inspires endless joy in my heart
Oh you're my angel
Children lay around her not knowing of the bad
She must understand them as they're tugging on her skirt
Heard she has a rhythm of a place so far away
She heard it on the radio and the calling Africa
Angel, angel of Africa
Angel, angel of Africa
Somewhere in the forest she heard a sound so strange
As the sun was high above her she hazed into it's cock
Music from a foreign land playing on the radio
A rhythm with an angel with hymns that say it all
Angel, angel of Africa
Angel, angel of Africa
Angel, angel of Africa
Angel, angel of Africa
Angel, angel of Africa
Angel, angel of Africa
She knows the joy of hunger
She wants to go away, life is about a time and place to her
Angel, angel of Africa
Angel, angel of Africa
Angel, angel of Africa
Angel, angel of Africa
Angel, angel of Africa
Angel, angel of Africa
Angel, angel of Africa
