Copper sun sinking low br Scatterlings and fugitives br Hooded eyes and weary brows br Seek refuge in the night br br They are the scatterlings of Africa br Each uprooted one br On the road to Phelamanga br Beneath the copper sun br And I love the scatterlings of Africa br Each and every one br In their hearts a burning hunger br Beneath the copper sun br br Broken wall, bicycle wheel br African sun forging steel, singing br Magic machine cannot match br Human being human being br African idea br African idea br --make the future clear br --make the future clear br br They are the scatterlings of Africa br Each uprooted one br On the road to Phelamanga br Beneath the copper sun br And for the scatterlings of Africa br The journey has begun br Future find their hungry eyes br Beneath the copper sun br br Ancient bones from Olduvai br Echoes of the very first cry br "Who made me, here and why? -- br Beneath this copper sun.
