| Inside a green little house |
| no sunshine reaches the floor |
| she came from africa |
| so tight her hands were tied |
| to a worn wooden chair |
| she arrived from africa |
| By boat she travelled far |
| in a cage like an animal |
| whips and chains… crying her eyes out |
| no sun below the deck |
| no chance of escaping |
| she lived in africa |
| Tonight she’s left alone |
| healing her scars again |
| she closes her eyes (why) |
| Thinking about the children |
| my fate they’re gonna share |
| work the days, abused at night |
| I wan’t, I wan’t my… |
| …Africa |
| i’m trapped in a house in a land without hope |
| there’s no way out of here |
| endless crying and i raise my voice |
| save the young ones sorrow and pain |
| Let them out, let them play |
| Let them out, let them play |
| She wanted to believe in the rumours |
| that reached the door |
| A village was built |
| for some 20 000 people |
| by slaves from Africa |
| If they only knew that her brother died |
| a day before the question |
| it wasn’t meant to be No freedom, no runaway |
| no slave that she could follow |
| to the border of alagoas |
| The smell of death is here |
| a squalid, dreadful time |
| she closes her eyes (oh why) |
| Self destructive thinking |
| her crave for lust is gone |
| work the days, abused at night |
| I wan’t my… |
| …Africa |
| i’m trapped in a house in a land without hope |
| there’s no way out of here |
| endless crying and i raise my voice |
| save the young ones sorrow |
| Border of alagoas |
| children without a childhood |
| no freedom, no games to play |
| children of innocence |
| Let them out, let them play |
| Tonight she’s left alone |
| healing her scars again |
| she closes her eyes (oh why) |
| Self destructive thinking |
| her crave for lust is gone |
