1) Well J'oanna she runs a country
   she runs in torpid and the tea went's far
   she makes a few of the people happy oh
   she don't care about the rest of all
   she's got a system they call apartheid
   it keeps her brother in a subjection
   but maybe pressure will make J'oanna see
   how ev'rybody could live as one
--------------------------------------------------------
Refrain: Gimme hope J'oanna gimme hope J'oanna
         befor the morning comes
         a gimme hope J'oanna hope Jo'anna
         hope before the morning comes
--------------------------------------------------------
2) I hear she makes up the golden huntly
   to bring your weapons and he shape up guns
   well ev'ry mother in the black soveto hears
   the killing of another son
   sneaking across of the neighbours border
   knowing a game having little fun
   she doesn't care if the fun ungain she play
   is dangerous for ev'ryone
--------------------------------------------------------
Refrain: Gimme hope J'oanna gimme hope J'oanna
         befor the morning comes
         a gimme hope J'oanna hope Jo'anna
         hope before the morning comes

3) She got importance in higher places
   who tender heads to the citizen
   Jo'anna give them the fency money oh
   to tempt anyone who come
   she even knows how to swing opinion
   in ev'ry magazines and headjournals
   for ev'ry bad move that is Jo'anna made
   they got a good explanation
--------------------------------------------------------
Refrain: Gimme hope J'oanna gimme hope J'oanna
         befor the morning comes
         a gimme hope J'oanna hope Jo'anna
         hope before the morning comes

4) Even the preacher who works for Jesus
   beyond bishop who's a peacfull man
   together says that the freedom fighters will
   overcome the very strong
   i wanna know if you plang J'oanna
   if you wanna hear the sound of drums
   can't yu see that the fight is burning oh
   don't let me wait till the morning comes
-------------------------------------------------------
