African Sky Blue

African sky blue, your children wait for the dawn

African sky blue, soon a new day will be born

African sky blue

African sky blue, will you bless my life?

African sunshine, soon you will warm your children's eyes

The African river water will dance and leap in your morning light

African sunshine

African river water, will you bless my life?

Oh, will you bless my life?

Oh, will you bless my life?

Oh, will you bless my life?

What can I know?

What can I dream?

What can I hope?

What will the future bring?

You shine through me

But will you see me through?

African sky blue

African thunderstorm, your soldiers march through the air

The African rain will fall and wash away all my tears

African falling rain

African falling rain, will you bless my life?

Oh, will you bless my life?

Oh, will you bless my life?

Oh, will you bless my life?

The warrior's now a worker and his war is underground

With cordite in the darkness, he milks the bleeding veins of gold

When the smoking rock-face murmurs, he always thinks of you

African sky blue

Will you see him through?
