Africa Lyrics


Africa is my descent
And here I am far from home
I dwell within a land that is meant
For many men not my tone, yeah
The blood of God is my defense
Let it drop down to my seed
Showers to your innocence
To protect you for all eternity
And with this wood I beat this drum
And we won't see defeat
From kings to queens
Becomes a prince
Knowledge and wisdom
Is understanding what we need
(And this day will come)
Ever since the day you came
My whole world began to change
I knew then to dedicate my life

For your own
(And this day will come)
Everyday I see you grow
And remember what you already know
I receive, I receive the love
That radiates from your glow
From which you came was love
And that's how it all should be
You and my soul are I
Through all the time and history, yeah
(And past)
Thank you, thank you

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Ann Mortifee was born in Zululand, South Africa. She spent her first years on a sugar farm there and came to Canada as a young child. As a teenager in Vancouver, she began singing with the legendary Josh White after her first public appearance which was at a local coffeehouse. That first performance was precipitated by a dare put to her by some of her classmates at school. Shortly thereafter, Ann was invited to an audition to be a singer for the first run of the George Ryga play,The Ecstasy of Rita Joe. It was here that she recognized the power of the arts to influence social awareness.
