Seen it all before
Could this take too long?
A prayer is all you need
And it´s all that was told to me
Stripped of all that´s left

Tell me what is right
And never let me ask
If it´s all that was told to me

Couldn´t see the changes even if I can´t explain it
But the presence of a lover with the faces of a mother, it´s warm
What is it we´re lookin´ for if common sense is just the law
And all my teachers, preachers [?] maybe that something is wrong

Mary
Our lady Africa
You promised us a home
But never while we´re young
Oh Mary

Our lady Africa
Please don´t leave them alone
May your Son´s law of love

Stripped of what is left

Oh Mary
Our lady Africa

May your Son´s law of love

Feeling old
Knowing that the dream you sold
How´d you make it to your goal?
Once ago
Time you know
Heat you felt when you were cold
It´s real as gold
Chains and all
All the things that make us bold

Make us bold
Black is gold
Rightly so
