Well, Joanna 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 a subjection.
But maybe pressure will make Joanna see,
how ev'rybody could a live as one.
Oh, gimme hope Joanna, hope Joanna
gimme hope Joanna 'fore the morning come.
Ah, gimme hope Joanna, hope Joanna
hope before the morning come.
I hear she makes all the gold and money,
to buy new weapons any shape of guns.
While every mother in a black Soweto fears
the killing of another son.
Sneakin' across all their neighbours' borders,
now and again having little fun.
She doesn't care if the fun and games she play,
is dangerous to ev'ryone.
Oh, gimme hope Joanna, hope Joanna
gimme hope Joanna 'fore the morning come.
Ah, gimme hope Joanna, hope Joanna
hope before the morning come.
She got supporters in higher places,
who turn their heads to the city sun.
Joanna 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 Joanna make
they got a good explanation.
Oh, gimme hope Joanna, hope Joanna
gimme hope Joanna 'fore the morning come.
Ah, gimme hope Joanna, hope Joanna
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, Joanna,
if you wanna hear the sound of drum.
Can't you see that the tide is turning, oh,
don't make me wait, till the morning come.
Oh, gimme hope Joanna, hope Joanna
gimme hope Joanna 'fore the morning come.
Ah, gimme hope Joanna, hope Joanna
hope before the morning come.
Oh, gimme hope Joanna, hope Joanna
gimme hope Joanna 'fore the morning come.
Ah, gimme hope Joanna, hope Joanna
hope before the morning come.
Oh, gimme hope Joanna, hope Joanna
gimme hope Joanna 'fore the morning come.
