Who never learned how to be alone Repeat Afrika chorus And so he walked in the fashion of his lands Until at last he cried out Can anybody hear me, hear me, hear the song in my heart There's a song to be sung that can heal these broken men Let us sing and we'll walk through the dark Hand in hand, hand in hand Repeat Afrika chorus; move it up a half step or so and repeat again
