Guess What's Happening
See that broken hearted manToiling in the burning sunDisappointed AfricanDoesn't even over standAfter so many years of sweat and tearsStill he's living in fearWondering if and whenHe's gonna have his shareWell, guess what's happeningA new day's dawningSee the black son's risingSoon he will be freeSee that poor disgruntled youthTrying his best to know the truthWhy his ancestors have diedFrom those all who robbed and ruledSo many years of blood and stainStill he's working in vainWondering if and whenHe'll ever have his shareWell, guess what's happeningSongtexteA new day's dawningI see a new horizonSoon he will be freeHow could life be so unfairHe wonders how some get out thereSitting in their rocking chairWhile he's living in despairAfter so many years of sweat and tearsStill he's living in fearWondering if and whenHe's gonna have his shareGuess what's happeningI see a new day's dawningI see the table is turningSoon he will be free, yo, ho, hoGuess what's happeningA new day's dawningI see the table is turningSoon he will be free, yo, ho, hoGuess what's happeningI see the table is turningSee a new horizonSoon he will be freeGuess what's happeningI see a new day's dawning Aus Songtexte Mania
