African Cry Lyrics
Took our whole black African tribe
Whipped our backs and enslaved our minds
Took away our shield and spear
Shipped and shackled, chained and feared
Took away our native tongue
Taught their English to our young
All the black people
African cry!
Just wanted to live
So many have died!
Took our whole African nation
Took us South to a plantation
Made us work both day and night
With no freedom and no rights
All the black people
African cry!
Just wanted to live
So many have died!
Though they think our ways are done
But someday, we'll overcome
Though they think our ways are done

But someday, we'll overcome
Overcome
Overcome
Overcome
Overcome!
Right on!
