AFRICA! WHY THIS WAR?

Composed and Written by Dr. Joseph Israel James

Africa! Many are crying in you
Oh! Yes I see many naked and homeless
I hear kou-kou-kou, kaa-kaa-kaa
Africa you accepted the lies of satan
Africa why this war?
Africa! What is this?

Africa! Why turn yourself to graves land
Oh! Why destroy precious lives Jesus died for?
I hear kou-kou-kou, kaa-kaa-kaa
Africa you accepted the mission of satan
Africa why this war?
Africa! What is this?

Africa! I hear the Lord saying
Why turn your back on me
I hear kou-kou-kou, kaa-kaa-kaa
Africa you accepted the destruction of satan
Africa why this war?
Africa! What is this?

Africa! This is intimidation
Why accept to fight and kill your brethren
I hear kou-kou-kou, kaa-kaa-kaa
Africa why say no to the Prince of Peace?
Africa why this war?
Africa! What is this?

Africa! There is a way out
The blood of Christ is the blood of peace
From now no more -- kou-kou-kou kaa-kaa-kaa
Africa say yes to peace and live
Africa why this war?
Africa! What is this?
