lyrics

Zimbabwe

Come with me tomorrow, stay with me today
The world is getting older and I’ve got no place to stay
I’ve been promised a land of my own
Where I could grow wheat and corn
But all I’ve got in my hands s this promise of this old man

Are you still my brother? Did you become my foe?
We're born of the same mother. Why is it no longer so?
We’ve been promised a future for too long
Now we’ve lost both dance and song
Our country's dying in free fall
The writing is on the wall

When I was young everything was so simple and right
It was good against bad, the Blacks against the Whites
We believed in a cause for which it was worth to fight
But all of a sudden this day has turned to night
I no longer know who is wrong and who is right
I am stumbling on because I’m ordered to fight.

Come with me today, stay with me tomorrow
Share with me my way, then share with me my sorrow
A fear is growing in me that there's nothing left to be
Sunset on a dying land
Our future drowning in the sand
