Give Me Hope Joanna (Live) - Louise Carver

作词：Eddie Grant

作曲：Eddie Grant

Well Joanna she runs a country

She runs in durban and the transvaal

She makes a few of her people happy

And she don't care about the rest at all

She's got a system they call apartheid

It keeps a brother in a subjection

But maybe pressure will make jo'anna see

How everybody could a live as one

Give me hope Joanna

Give me hope Joanna

Give me hope Joanna

For the morning come

Give me hope Joanna

Give me hope Joanna

Hope before the morning come

I hear she makes all the golden money

To buy new weapons any shape of guns

While every mother in a black soweto fears

The killing of another son

Sneaking across all

The neighbours borders

Now and again having a little fun

She doesn't care if the fun

And games she play

Is dangerous to everyone

Give me hope Joanna

Give me hope Joanna

Give me hope Joanna

For the morning come

Give me hope Joanna

Give me hope Joanna

Hope before the morning come

You can tell loving mine mine

You can tell loving mine mine

You can tell it love

You can tell it love

She got supporters in higher places

Who turn their heads to the city sun

Jo'anna give them the fancy money

To tempt anyone who'd come

I wanna know if you're blind jo'anna

If you wanna hear the sound of dram

Can't you see that the tide is turning

Don't make me wait till the morning come

Give me hope Joanna

Give me hope Joanna

Give me hope Joanna

For the morning come

Give me hope Joanna

Give me hope Joanna

Hope before the morning come

Give me hope Joanna

Give me hope Joanna

Give me hope Joanna

For the morning come

Give me hope Joanna

Give me hope Joanna

Hope before the morning come
