Lyrics

Plenty, plenty body for open sea Mediterranean na cemetery Yeah o Africa future dey die o Plenty, plenty body for open sea Mediterranean na cemetery Yeah o Africa future dey die o Where's the outrage who we holding accountable? Are we all numb cause of daily survival? Why the images don't touch us no more? Why we so detached like reporters of war? What's it going to take to mobilise the people To ignite compassion in these times of evil? How we going to stop the youth from chasing a dream When the future is dark, grey and grim? How you sell patience when it's short cuts And instant gratification at all costs? How you debunk lies of lands of milk and honey When we celebrate scammers and money? Plenty, plenty body for open sea Mediterranean na cemetery Yeah o Africa future dey die o Plenty, plenty body for open sea Mediterranean na cemetery Yeah o Africa future dey die o How do you grieve when you never saw a body? How do you say goodbye when the grave is empty? How do you find closure and ever move on When your heart keeps hoping from dusk till dawn? For every floating corpse- two in the Sahara! Bodies buried in sand don't appear in data Neither the thousands with no name and paper Dumped, abandoned in the cemeteries of strangers Brothers and sisters tortured and raped Sold and resold as modern-day slaves Organ harvesters and human traffickers Making their gains from the pains of Africans Omi ń gb'ọ'mọ lọ Owo' ni àwọn adarí ń kó E'ni'ya'n ń parun s'áṣálẹ' Wọ́n ń gbẹ̀bi' fún aláàárẹ̀ Wọ́n ń gba're fún ẹlẹ́bi O'ṣi'ṣẹ' ko' r'ówó gba' o Plenty, plenty body for open sea Mediterranean na cemetery Yeah o Africa future dey die o Plenty, plenty body for open sea Mediterranean na cemetery Yeah o Africa future dey die o
