Sister, there's a wind that never dies

Sister, we're breathing together

Sister, our love 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, you're still a people teacher

Sister, your word reaches far

Sister, there's 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

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, you're one of the millions of political prisoners in the world
