    This song is probably the most powerful and rousing and not only speaks for South Africa but anywhere oppression and segregation takes place today.

      Despite what the MSM says, there's no segregation or oppression of blacks/minorities in the west. The big oppression/racism now is Neo Marxist/Identity politics racism against white people.

    What I love about this song is that it is a pointed and serious message about the horrors of Apartheid and yet by clothing it in an upbeat and catchy tune it will grab the attention of more people, and it did.

      Yeah right.....peaceful and so clever, tell me where do you see black, white or brown in the rainbow? Wake up and smell the coffee, he was a terrorist and a murderer who murdered many black AND white people with his cronies. The only difference is there was "war" in SA then as there is a war at any given time in the world, brush up on world history you might get a few surprises. Everybody hates adolf hitler for the holocaust but how many black and white men, women and children did the british murdered in the Boer war, not to mention all the animals they murdered with their scorched earth policy in SA then

Times were tough under apartheid but looking at the country now...sigh...sad.

    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 subjection
    But maybe pressure will make Jo'anna see
    How everybody could live as one
    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 make all the golden money
    To buy new weapons any shape of guns
    While every mother in black Soweto fears
    The killing of another son
    Sneakin' across all the neighbours' borders
    Now and again having little fun
    She doesn't care if the fun and games she play
    Is dang'rous to ev'ryone
    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
    She's got supporters in high up places
    Who turn their heads to the city sun
    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 makes
    They got a good explanation
    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
    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 drums
    Can't you see that the tide is turning
    Oh don't make me wait till the morning come
    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
    Gimme hope Jo'anna
    Hope Jo'anna
    Gimme hope Jo'anna
    'Fore the morning comes
    Gimme hope Jo'anna
    Hope Jo'anna
    Hope before the morning come
    Gimme hope Jo'anna

    真的好喜歡這首歌。
    非洲風的節奏、力量、興奮、期待,讓歌曲展現出與眾不同的風貌。
    而歌詞對於人民的不滿與期望,對幸福生活的嚮往,對腐敗的憤怒,讓整首歌充滿歷史的刻畫與人民的心酸無奈。

    This song really brings back memories of the 70s. The Apartheid was an easy giveaway but the rest hold a lot more meaning for the people old enough to remember international news during that time period.
    Sneaking across all the neighbor's borders: The Rhodensian Bush Wars
    Turn their heads to the City Sun: Sun city, a city built separately from the main South African country as an "independent state" to bypass the laws, basically it was used as an excuse piece that separating blacks from whites will allow them to "better govern themselves away from the "white" government.
    The archbishop who is a peaceful man: Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
    This song is choked full of historical references.
