Mata oh a eh oh jo jo
Mata oh a eh oh jo jo
Hear my own version of the story:
Talk about freedom, equality and justice
About supression come let me express
I criticize the system about opression
Calling on dictators and political leaders
Free all the power and give it to the people
No more wars, no force, no fights
History will forgive you if you make any change
But will not forgive you if you don't make any change
Tell me how it will be with a system change
In Africa tribes we sing:
Mata oh a eh oh jo jo
In Africa tribes we sing
Mata oh a eh oh jo jo
In Africa tribes we sing
In the Bible the Lord God said
„Let there be light!“ and there was light
„Let there be peace!“ and there was peace
Lord gave the world life, power an peace
World gave the power to some people
They invented war here and there
Hatred amongst people of the world
Love was buried beyond layers of the earth
Love was a blessing to the world from above
The world neglected it and world was lost
In Africa tribes we sing:
Mata oh a eh oh jo jo
In Africa tribes we sing
Mata oh a eh oh jo jo
In Africa tribes we sing
