Gimme Hope Jo'anna by Eddy Grant


Well Jo'anna she runs a country

She runs in Durban and the Transvaal

She makes a few of her people happy oh

She don't care about the rest at all

 

She's got a system they call apartheid

It keeps a brother in a subjection

But maybe pressure will make Jo'anna see

How everybody could a live as one

 

Oh gimme hope Jo'anna hope Jo'anna

Gimme hope Jo'anna 'fore the morning come

Gimme hope Jo'anna hope Jo'anna

Hope before the morning come

 

I hear she makes all the golden money

To buy new weapons any shape of guns

While every mother in a black Soweto fears

The killing of another son

 

Sneakin' across all the neighbors' borders

Now and again having little fun

She doesn't care if the fun and game she play

Is dangerous to everyone

Oh gimme hope Jo'anna gimme hope Jo'anna

Gimme hope Jo'anna 'fore the morning come

Gimme hope Jo'anna gimme hope Jo'anna

Hope before the morning come

 

She's got supporters in higher places

Who turn their heads to the city sun

Find more similar lyrics on Jo'anna give them the fancy money

Oh to tempt anyone who'd come

 

She even knows how to swing opinion

In every magazine and the journals

For every bad move that this Jo'anna make

They got a good explanation

 

Oh gimme hope Jo'anna gimme hope Jo'anna

Gimme hope Jo'anna 'fore the morning come

Gimme hope Jo'anna gimme hope Jo'anna

Hope before the morning come

 

Even the preacher who works for Jesus

The Archbishop who's a peaceful man

Together say that the freedom fighters

Will overcome the very strong

 

I wanna know if you're blind Jo'anna

If you wanna hear the sound of drum

Can't you see that the tide is turning

Oh don't make me wait till the morning come

 

Oh do gimme hope Jo'anna gimme hope Jo'anna

Gimme hope Jo'anna 'fore the morning come

Gimme hope Jo'anna gimme hope Jo'anna

Hope before the morning come

 

Gimme hope Jo'anna gimme hope Jo'anna

Gimme hope Jo'anna 'fore the morning come

Gimme hope Jo'anna gimme hope Jo'anna

Hope before the morning come
