lirik lagu allan taylor – “boy” is a nation
“boy” is a nation with fire in its soul
tired of living in one stinking hole
townships of cardboard, paper and tin
nothing to lose but to win
tell me:
how long mayibuye africa
how long mayibuye africa
how long mayibuye africa
how long mayibuye africa
“boy” feeds his family and does what he’s told
digging for diamonds, mining for gold
emptying garbage, cleaning the street
nothing to wear on his feet
tell me:
how long mayibuye africa
how long mayibuye africa
how long mayibuye africa
how long mayibuye africa
two weeks a year he goes home to his wife
planting his seed, continuing life
building the numbers, filling the line
it’s only a matter of time
tell me:
how long mayibuye africa
how long mayibuye africa
how long mayibuye africa
how long mayibuye africa
when man is denied a piece of his land
violence comes by unspoken command
one piece of land to nurture and farm
one piece of land for a home
tell me:
how long mayibuye africa
how long mayibuye africa
how long mayibuye africa
how long mayibuye africa
“boy” is just one of a thousand the same
“boy” is a thousand of thousands again
standing in line with a hand in each hand
he circles the whole of his land
tell me:
how long mayibuye africa
how long mayibuye africa
how long mayibuye africa
how long mayibuye africa
“boy” is a nation with fire in its soul
tired of living in one stinking hole
townships of cardboard, paper and tin
nothing to lose but to win
tell me:
how long mayibuye africa
how long mayibuye africa
how long mayibuye africa
how long mayibuye africa
