Well Jo'anna she runs a country[00:00:15]

She runs in Durban and the Transvaal[00:00:18]

She makes a few of her people happy, oh[00:00:22]

She don't care about the rest at all[00:00:26]

She's got a system they call apartheid[00:00:29]

It keeps a brother in a subjection[00:00:33]

But maybe pressure can make Jo'anna see[00:00:37]

How everybody could a live as one[00:00:41]

Gimme hope, Jo'anna[00:00:45]

Hope, Jo'anna[00:00:47]

Gimme hope, Jo'anna[00:00:48]

'Fore the morning come[00:00:50]

Gimme hope, Jo'anna[00:00:52]

Hope, Jo'anna[00:00:54]

Hope before the morning come[00:00:56]

I hear she make all the golden money[00:00:59]

To buy new weapons, any shape of guns[00:01:03]

While every mother in black Soweto fears[00:01:07]

The killing of another son[00:01:11]

Sneakin' across all the neighbours' borders[00:01:14]

Now and again having little fun[00:01:18]

She doesn't care if the fun and games she play[00:01:21]

Is dang'rous to ev'ryone[00:01:26]

Gimme hope, Jo'anna[00:01:29]

Hope, Jo'anna[00:01:32]

Gimme hope, Jo'anna[00:01:33]

'Fore the morning come[00:01:35]

Gimme hope, Jo'anna[00:01:37]

Hope, Jo'anna[00:01:39]

Hope before the morning come[00:01:41]

She's got supporters in high up places[00:01:59]

Who turn their heads to the city sun[00:02:03]

Jo'anna give them the fancy money[00:02:07]

Oh to tempt anyone who'd come[00:02:10]

She even knows how to swing opinion[00:02:14]

In every magazine and the journals[00:02:18]

For every bad move that this Jo'anna makes[00:02:22]

They got a good explanation[00:02:26]

Gimme hope, Jo'anna[00:02:29]

Hope, Jo'anna[00:02:32]

Gimme hope, Jo'anna[00:02:33]

'Fore the morning come[00:02:35]

Gimme hope, Jo'anna[00:02:37]

Hope, Jo'anna[00:02:39]

Hope before the morning come[00:02:41]

Even the preacher who works for Jesus[00:02:44]

The Archbishop who's a peaceful man[00:02:48]

Together say that the freedom fighters[00:02:51]

Will overcome the very strong[00:02:55]

I wanna know if you're blind Jo'anna[00:02:59]

If you wanna hear the sound of drums[00:03:02]

Can't you see that the tide is turning[00:03:06]

Oh don't make me wait till the morning come[00:03:10]

Gimme hope, Jo'anna[00:03:14]

Hope, Jo'anna[00:03:16]

Gimme hope, Jo'anna[00:03:18]

'Fore the morning come[00:03:19]

Gimme hope, Jo'anna[00:03:21]

Hope, Jo'anna[00:03:24]

Hope before the morning come[00:03:25]

Gimme hope, Jo'anna[00:03:29]

Hope, Jo'anna[00:03:31]

Gimme hope, Jo'anna[00:03:33]

'Fore the morning come[00:03:34]

Gimme hope, Jo'anna[00:03:36]

Hope, Jo'anna[00:03:39]

Hope before the morning come[00:03:40]
