It's Like a Forgotten Watch (Song for Africa)

The rich don't care for Africa, they just wanna get rich quick

They don't see the beauty of the continent, they just wanna make a quick lick

The people suffer and the rich just sit and watch

The continent is forgotten, it's like a forgotten watch

The land is rich, the people are poor

The continent is forgotten, like a forgotten shore

The people cry out, but no one hears their cries

The rich just keep on getting richer, while the people just survive

The continent of Africa, once so grand

But now it's forgotten, the rich don't understand

The pain and suffering that the people endure

The darkness of the night, the poor can't endure

The rich don't care, they just want more

The poor are left with nothing, so they can't afford

The darkness of the night, the poor can't endure

The pain and suffering that the people endure
