Mm-hm-hm, hm
Down in Africa, the children are crying
Down in Africa, the children are dying (dying)
No one cares
No one cares (no, no)
No one hears their cry (oh, why?)
Speak loud and break the silence (break the silence)
'Cause that's the only way (only way)
They can hear your cry
Speak loud and break the silence (break the silence)
'Cause that's the only way (only way)
They can hear your cry
I hear voices telling me
It's time for my people to be free (mm)
The younger generation (African nation)
Must have a future (got to have a future)
They've been living in darkness much too long (much too long)
Down in Africa, the children are crying (crying)
Down in Africa (ooh), the children are dying (oh-oh, yeah)
No one cares
No one cares (no one cares)
No one hears their cry (oh, why?)
Don't let my death and dream go in vain
So much blood, so much pain
For he gave his life for what he believed in
(Believed in, believed in)
Every man has a right to control his life
Not to be a slave, to live a bright life (live a bright)
But the motherland has been robbed of its birthright
Come on, African children (African children)
Rise up and fight (rise up and fight)
For in the end, history will show that you were right (hm, yeah)
ย
Hm, yeah
Down in Africa, the children are crying (crying)
Down in Africa, the children are dying (they're dying)
No one cares (no one cares)
No one cares (no one cares)
No one hears their cry (oh, why?)
Down in Africa, the children are crying (oh, yeah)
Down in Africa, the children are dying (no mercy)
No one cares
No one cares (no one cares)
No one hears their cry
They're crying
Hear their cry
