|
See that broken hearted man |
|
toiling in the burning sun |
|
dissapointed African |
|
doesn't even "overstand" |
|
After so many years of sweat and tears |
|
still he's living in fear |
|
wondering "if and when" he's gonna have his share |
|
[Chorus:] |
|
Well - guess what's happening |
|
a new day's dawning |
|
see the black son's rising |
|
soon he will be free |
|
See that poor disgruntled youth |
|
trying his best to know the truth |
|
why his ancestors have died |
|
from those all who robbed and ruled |
|
so many years of blood and stain |
|
still he's working in vain |
|
wondering if and whan |
|
he'll ever have his share |
|
[Chorus:] |
|
Well - guess what's happening |
|
a new day's dawning |
|
I see a new horizon |
|
soon he will be free |
|
How could life be so unfair |
|
he wonders how some get out there |
|
sitting in their rocking chair |
|
while he's living in despair |
|
After so many years of sweat and tears |
|
still he's living in fear |
|
wondering if and when |
|
he's gonna have his share |
|
[Chorus:] |
|
Guess what's happening |
|
I see a new day's dawning |
|
I the table is turning |
|
soon he will be free |
|
yo ho ho |
|
[Chorus:] |
|
guess what's happening |
|
a new day's dawning |
|
I see the table is turning |
|
soon he will be free |
|
yo ho ho |
|
[Chorus:] |
|
guess what's happening |
|
I see the table is turning |
|
see a new horizon |
|
soon he will be free |
|
guess what's happening |
|
I see a new day's dawning |
