walima’ mabele
the sky is clear across the land
not a cloud for empty hands
who has undone the rain?
waiting for a windy day.
to blow them along to a land of plenty
will i every see your people here again?
’cause i heard them singing
chorus
families turn the dry earth
burning, burning, burning
who has undone the rain?
can it be the answer lies
in a smile from forgotten times
will i ever see your face again?
’cause i heard them singing
chorus
who has undone the rain
i heard your people calling out
on the dry plains of africa
nothing grows, nothing shows a breath of life
dry dust in the morning light
i heard them singing
give them your love — lead them to a land of plenty
will i ever see your people here again?
i heard them singing — i heard them calling out your name
will i ever see your face again?
