Scatterlings of Africa Lyrics
Copper sun sinking low
Scatterlings and fugitives
Hooded eyes and weary brows
Seek refuge in the night
They are the scatterlings of Africa
Each uprooted one
On the road to Phelamanga
Where the world began
I love the scatterlings of Africa
Each and every one
In their hearts a burning hunger
Beneath the copper sun
Ancient bones from Olduvai
Echoes of the very first cry
"Who made me here and why
Beneath the copper sun?"
African idea
African idea
Make the future clear
Make the future clear
And we are the scatterlings of Africa
Both you and I
We're on the road to Phelamanga
Beneath the copper sky
And we are the scatterlings of Africa
On a journey to the stars
Far below, we leave forever
Dreams of what we were
We are the scatterlings of Africa
We are the scatterlings of Africa
We are the scatterlings of Africa
We are the scatterlings of Africa
Scatterlings of Africa
Scatterlings of Africa
Scatterlings and fugitives
Hooded eyes and weary brows
Seek refuge in the night
Each uprooted one
On the road to Phelamanga
Where the world began
Each and every one
In their hearts a burning hunger
Beneath the copper sun
Echoes of the very first cry
"Who made me here and why
Beneath the copper sun?"
African idea
Make the future clear
Make the future clear
Both you and I
We're on the road to Phelamanga
Beneath the copper sky
On a journey to the stars
Far below, we leave forever
Dreams of what we were
We are the scatterlings of Africa
We are the scatterlings of Africa
We are the scatterlings of Africa
Scatterlings of Africa

Phelamanga means The Place of Truth or The Place of No Lies. Perhaps a reference to Heaven, but more likely a vision of the (possible) future of an Africa that doesn't exist yet but could result from the efforts of all African people.
