We Are A People Proud

We Are A People Proud

 

We are empty in the land of plenty there’s no food on the plate

In the name of the God of love they delivered a world of hate

Promising friendship and freedom for all they made us slaves

Early to toil to earn the master’s spoil we descend to early graves

 

We are not a colony we are a people proud

We demand our freedom clear and loud

A few greedy men are always a crowd

We are not a colony we are a people proud

 

The furnace has raged for long centuries do you embrace the flame?

My skin is like the midnight sky on high and I feel no shame

Africa’s the place I embrace mother of civilization

Listen to the score once more I am sure we’ll rise to a great nation

 

We are not a colony we are a people proud

We demand our freedom clear and loud

A few greedy men are always a crowd

We are not a colony we are a people proud

 

We were living in mighty tall towers while Europe was in caves

In the illusion of cruel confusion you made us slaves

Well seasons change my friend and it’s time for terror to end

God has a purpose and God has a way there’s no chance to defend

 

For Arica I fight I pledge my life and all

Freedom is my delight I answer the call

For Africa I sing a blessing forever more

We are a people proud of that I am sure

 

We are not a colony we are a people proud

We demand our freedom clear and loud

A few greedy men are always a crowd

We are not a colony we are a people proud

 

Let’s celebrate in unity of the family of our home

To you who have wandered so far away I say cease to roam

Side by side hand in hand let us join our minds to the day

See in the east the rosy rays of dawn God’s answer to what we pray

 

We are not a colony we are a people proud

We demand our freedom clear and loud

A few greedy men are always a crowd

We are not a colony we are a people proud

Listen To WE ARE A PEOPLE PROUD

Silent Cries

Silent Cries

 

The story of King Leopold is being retold

They barter innocent souls for the price of gold

And don’t you know it’s the same as yesterday

The powers that be simply look away

 

Can you hear our silent cries (silent cries)?

Congo the heart of Africa slowly dies

They say they care they speak many lies

Oh, why don’t you answer our silent cries?

 

As long as they get their money let the people be damned

They’re raping the women while stealing the land

For the wealth in the ground the armies are here

Forces of terror they deal the devil’s fear

 

Can you hear our silent cries (silent cries)?

Congo the heart of Africa slowly dies

They say they care they speak many lies

Oh, why don’t you answer our silent cries?

 

From the history of man the lessons are learned

As a human being you should be concerned

When your brother perishes in genocide

For the love of God you must choose a side

 

What would you do if it happened to you?

Tomorrow the nightmare could come true

The holocaust it never comes to an end

Until we embrace all humanity as friend

 

Can you hear our silent cries (silent cries)?

Congo the heart of Africa slowly dies

They say they care they speak many lies

Oh, why don’t you answer our silent cries?

 

The river flows red from the blood of the slain

Greed is the evil deed that drives man insane

We must stop the tide peace can’t be denied

In Congo once more the pure are crucified

 

Can you hear our silent cries (silent cries)?

Congo the heart of Africa slowly dies

They say they care they speak many lies

Oh why don’t you answer our silent cries?

 Listen To SILENT CRIES
