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

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 ’round the world

They gave you sunshine,
They gave you sea,
They gave you ev’rything but the jailhouse key

They gave you coffee,
They gave you tea,
They gave you ev’rything but equality

Angela, can you hear the world is turning,
Angela, the world watches you
Angela, you soon will be returning
To your sisters and your brothers of the world

Sister, you’re still a people teacher,
Sister, your word reaches far
Sister, there’s a million diff’rent races,
But we all share the same future in the world

They gave you sunshine,
They gave you sea,
They gave you ev’rything but the jailhouse key

Yeh, they gave you coffee,
They gave you tea,
They gave you ev’rything but equality

Hey, 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
