Shape of a Broken Heart Lyrics

[Chorus]
Africa has the shape of a broken heart
And the heart of a broken land,
You fell from heaven
Straight to hell,
Now your children are missing
[Verse 1]
I try to understand
Who I am
Years after years
God, it feels the same
Parted favors
Everybody's gone
Ain't no war that I know
Anybody won

[Chorus]
Africa has the shape of a broken heart
And the heart of a broken land,
You fell from heaven
Straight to hell,
Now your children are missing
[Verse 2]
Kiss their forehead
And hold their hands
Close their eyes
And put their name on their graves
Dust is dust
And so goes our faith
So goes our faith
[Chorus]
Africa has the shape of a broken heart
And the heart of a broken land,
Fell from heaven
Straight to hell,
Now your children are missing
[Verse 3]
And the wind blows,
And the children roam
Sitting on a side of a road
Watching all the boats, ooh
[Chorus]
Africa has the shape of a broken heart
And the Heart of a broken land,
You fell from heaven
Straight to hell,
And now your children are missing
[Outro]
Now I understand
Who I am, who I am, who I am…
Tell me how,
Tell me how,
Tell me how,
I can accept the thing
Things that I can’t change
Except the things that I can change
