Lyrics:
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 got a system they call apartheid It keeps a brother in subjection But maybe pressure will make Jo'anna see How everybody could live life as one oh Gimme hope Jo'anna hope Jo'anna Gimme hope Jo'anna 'fore the mourning come Gimme hope Jo'anna hope Jo'anna Hope before the mourning come I hear she makes all the golden money To buy new weapons in the shape of guns While every mother in a black Soweto Fears killing of another son Sneakin' across all the neighbours' borders Now and again having a little fun She doesn't care if the fun and games she play Is dangerous to everyone oh Chorus Gimme hope Jo'anna gimme hope Jo'anna Gimme hope Jo'anna 'fore the mourning come Gimme hope Jo'anna gimme hope Jo'anna Hope before the mourning come She 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 know how to swing opinion In every magazine and the journals For every bad move that this Jo'anna make They got a good explanation oh Repeat chorus 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 drum Can't you see that the tide is turning oh Don't make me wait till the mourning come oh
