Gimme Hope Joanna Lyrics
Well Jo`Anna she runs a country
She runs in Durban and the Transvaal
She makes a few of her people happy, oh
She don`t care about the rest at all
She`s got a system they call apartheid
It keeps a brother in a subjection
But maybe pressure can make Jo`Anna see
How everybody could a live as one
Gimme hope, Jo`Anna
Hope Jo`Anna
Gimme hope, Jo`Anna
`Fore the morning come
Gimme hope, Jo`Anna
Hope Jo`Anna
Hope before the morning come
I hear she makes all the golden money
To buy new weapons, any shape of guns
While every mother in black Soweto fears
The killing of another son
Sneakin` across all the neighbour`s borders
Now and again having little fun
She doesn`t care if the fun and games she play
Is dang`rous to ev`ryone
Gimme hope
She`s got supporters in high up places
Who turn their heads to thew city sun

Jo`Anna give them the fancy money
Oh, to tempt anyone who`d come
She even knows how to swing opinion
In every magazines and the journals
For every bad move that this Jo`Anna makes
They got a good explanation
Gimme hope
Even the preacher who works for jesus
The archbishop who`s a peaceful man
Together say that the freedom fighters
Will overcome the very strong
I wanna know if you`re blind Jo`Anna
I wanna hear the sound of drums
Can`t you see that the tide is turning
Oh don`t make me wait `til the morning come
