Lyrics of Scatterlings of Africa by Johnny Clegg,Juluka
verse
Copper sun sinking low
Scatterlings and fugitives
Hooded eyes and weary brows
Seek refuge in the night
chorus
They are the scatterlings of Africa
Each uprooted one
They're on the road to Phelamanga
Where the world began
chorus
I love the scatterlings of Africa
Each and every one
In their hearts a burning hunger
Beneath the copper sun
verse
Broken wall, bicycle wheel
African sun forging steel, singing
Magic machine cannot match human-
Being, human being
pre-chorus
African ideas
African ideas
Make the future clear
Make the future clear
chorus
They are the scatterlings of Africa
Each uprooted one
They're on the road to Phelamanga
Where the world began
chorus
And from the scatterlings of Africa
The journey has begun
Future find their hungry eyes
Beneath the copper sun
verse
Ancient bones from Olduvai
Echoes of the very first cry
"Who made me, here and why?"
Beneath this copper sun
pre-chorus
My very first beginnings
Beneath the copper sky
Lie deeply buried
In the dust of Olduvai
chorus
And we are the scatterlings of Africa
Both you and I
We're on the road to Phelamanga
Beneath this copper sky
chorus
And we are the scatterlings of Africa
On a journey to the stars
Far below, we leave forever
Dreams of what we were
outro
(Hawu beke Mama-ye!)
(Mama-ye!)
In the beginning (Hawu beke Mama-ye!)
Beneath copper skys (Mama-ye!)
Ancient bones (Hawu beke Mama-ye!)
In the dust of Olduvai (Mama-ye!)
Who made us? (Hawu beke Mama-ye!)
Here, and why? (Mama-ye!)
Remember (Hawu beke Mama-ye!)
Scatterlings of Africa (Mama-ye!)
outro
Scatterlings of Africa (Hawu beke Mama-ye!)
Scatterlings of Africa (Mama-ye!)
Scatterlings of Africa (Hawu beke Mama-ye!) We are
Scatterlings of Africa (Mama-ye!) We are
Scatterlings of Africa (Hawu beke Mama-ye!) We are
Scatterlings of Africa (Mama-ye!)
Scatterlings of Africa (Hawu beke Mama-ye!)
Scatterlings of Africa (Mama-ye!)
Scatterlings of Africa (Hawu beke Mama-ye!)
