Inside a green little house no sunshine reaches the floor she came from africa so tight her hands were tied to a worn wooden chair she arrived from africa
By boat she travelled far in a cage like an animal whips and chains... crying her eyes out no sun below the deck no chance of escaping she lived in africa

A village was built for some 20000 people by slaves from Africa

No freedom, no runaway no slave that she could follow [ From: http://www.elyrics.net] to the border of alagoas

...Africa i'm trapped in a house in a land without hope there's no way out of here endless crying and i raise my voice save the young ones sorrow

Tonight she's left alone healing her scars again she closes her eyes (oh why)
Self destructive thinking her crave for lust is gone work the days, abused at night
Africa I'm trapped in a house in a land without hope there's no way out of here endless crying and i raise my voice save the young ones sorrow
In a land without hope there's no way out of here endless crying and i raise my voice save the young ones sorrow and pain
