Angela

Angela, they put you in prison,
Angela, they shot down your man.
Angela, you're one of the millions
Of political prisoners in the world.

Sister, there's a wind that never dies,
Sister, we're breathing together.
Sister, our love and hopes forever,
Keep on moving, oh, so slowly 'round the world.

They gave you sunshine,
They gave you sea,
They gave you ev'rything but the jailhouse key.

They gave you coffee,
They gave you tea,
They gave you ev'rything but equality.

Angela, can you hear the world is turning,
Angela, the world watches you.
Angela, you soon will be returning
To your sisters and your brothers of the world.

Sister, you're still a people teacher,
Sister, your word reaches far.
Sister, there's a million diff'rent races,
But we all share the same future in the world.

They gave you sunshine,
They gave you sea,
They gave you ev'rything but the jailhouse key.

Yeh, they gave you coffee,
They gave you tea,
They gave you ev'rything but equality.

Hey, angela, they put you in prison,
Angela, they shot down your man.
Angela, you're one of the millions
Of political prisoners in the world.
