VERSE
When our voices try to rise, Must we always advertise? If I'm not of the upper class, How could I ever save your ass? Can I shop enough for Africa? Shop enough for Africa? Can I shop enough for Africa? Shop enough for Africa? And when I lift my hands in prayer, Is Bono's face always there? if I stare into his wrap-around eyes, Is my goodness globalized?
CHORUS There's an orphan. And here's the gold. We adopt it when it's sold. Send a jet. It's in the news. Express that kid cuz I got the blues. Africa! Africa! Africa!
