Well Jo'anna she runs a country |
| [00:18.59] |
She runs in Durban and the Transvaal |
| [00:22.37] |
She makes a few of her people happy, oh |
| [00:26.24] |
She don't care about the rest at all |
| [00:29.89] |
She's got a system they call apartheid |
| [00:33.56] |
It keeps a brother in a subjection |
| [00:37.30] |
But maybe pressure will make Jo'anna see |
| [00:41.08] |
How everybody could a live as one |
| [00:45.04] |
Gimme hope, Jo'anna |
| [00:47.55] |
Hope, Jo'anna |
| [00:49.16] |
Gimme hope, Jo'anna |
| [00:50.71] |
'Fore the morning come |
| [00:52.76] |
Gimme hope, Jo'anna |
| [00:55.18] |
Hope, Jo'anna |
| [00:56.35] |
Hope before the morning come |
| [01:00.01] |
I hear she makes all the golden money |
| [01:03.46] |
To buy new weapons, any shape of guns |
| [01:07.31] |
While every mother in black Soweto fears |
| [01:10.99] |
The killing of another son |
| [01:14.82] |
Sneakin' across all the neighbors' borders |
| [01:18.43] |
Now and again having little fun |
| [01:22.19] |
She doesn't care if the fun and games she play |
| [01:26.16] |
Is dang'rous to ev'ryone |
| [01:29.91] |
Oh, gimme hope, Jo'anna |
| [01:32.52] |
Gimme hope, Jo'anna |
| [01:33.74] |
Gimme hope, Jo'anna |
| [01:35.52] |

| [01:37.45] |
Gimme hope, Jo'anna |
| [01:40.03] |
Gimme hope, Jo'anna |
| [01:41.68] |
Hope before the morning come |
| [01:59.53] |
She's got supporters in high up places |
| [02:03.24] |
Who turn their heads to the city sun |
| [02:07.00] |
Jo'anna give them the fancy money |
| [02:10.32] |
Oh, to tempt anyone who'd come |
| [02:14.53] |
She even knows how to swing opinion |
| [02:18.34] |
In every magazine and the journals |
| [02:22.06] |
For every bad move that this Jo'anna make |
| [02:25.99] |
They got a good explanation |
| [02:29.65] |
Oh, gimme hope, Jo'anna |
| [02:32.11] |
Gimme hope, Jo'anna |
| [02:33.47] |
Gimme hope, Jo'anna |
| [02:35.29] |
'Fore the morning come |
| [02:37.30] |
Gimme hope, Jo'anna |
| [02:39.77] |
Gimme hope, Jo'anna |
| [02:40.96] |
Hope before the morning come |
| [02:44.74] |
Even the preacher who works for Jesus |
| [02:48.09] |
The Archbishop who's a peaceful man |
| [02:51.84] |
Together say that the freedom fighters |
| [02:55.44] |
Will overcome the very strong |
| [02:59.38] |
I wanna know if you're blind Jo'anna |
| [03:03.11] |
If you wanna hear the sound of drum |
| [03:06.89] |
Can't you see that the tide is turning |
| [03:10.15] |
Oh don't make me wait till the morning come |
| [03:14.43] |
Oh, gimme hope, Jo'anna |
| [03:17.05] |
Gimme hope, Jo'anna |
| [03:18.74] |
Gimme hope, Jo'anna |
| [03:20.30] |
'Fore the morning come |
| [03:21.94] |
Gimme hope, Jo'anna |
| [03:23.89] |
Gimme hope, Jo'anna |
| [03:25.83] |
Hope before the morning come |
| [03:29.94] |
Gimme hope, Jo'anna |
| [03:31.57] |
Gimme hope, Jo'anna |
| [03:33.40] |
Gimme hope, Jo'anna |
| [03:35.06] |
'Fore the morning come |
| [03:37.04] |
Gimme hope, Jo'anna |
| [03:39.38] |
Gimme hope, Jo'anna |
| [03:40.81] |
Hope before the morning come |
