Angela, they put you in prison
Angela, they shot down your man
Angela, youre one of the millions
Of political prisoners in the world
Sister, theres the wind that never dies
Sister, were breathing together
Sister, our loves and hopes forever keep
On moving oh so slowly in the world
They gave you sunshine
They gave you sea
They gave you everything but the jailhouse key
They gave you coffee
They gave you tea
They gave you everything but equality
Angela, can you hear the earth is turning?
Angela, the world watches you
Angela, you soon will be returning
To your sisters and brothers in the world
Sister, youre still a people teacher
Sister, your word reaches far
Sister, theres a million different races
But we all share the same future in the world
They gave you sunshine
They gave you sea
They gave you everything but the jailhouse key
Hey they gave you coffee
They gave you tea
They gave you everything but equality
Angela, they put you in prison
Angela, they shot down your man
Angela, youre one of the millions
Of political prisoners in the world
