Scatterlings Of Africa Lyrics - Singles - Clegg Johnny

Copper sun sinking low 

Scatterlings and fugitives 

Hooded eyes and weary brows 

Seek refuge in the night 

Chorus 

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 

Chorus..... 

And we are the scatterlings of Africa 

Both you and I 

We are on the road to Phelamanga 

Beneath a 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
