                                  Mother Africa walking along with Stephen Lewis

The dancers are dancing towards the camera

Hips moving real fast



A young woman in a school uniform

Is singing in front of the choir

Singing a song perhaps she wrote

For this occasion this television opportunity

Make no mistake it's directed at you and me.



She sings, "Why me, why him, why her?

Why me, why him, why her?"



But the real question underlies the theme.

We know you have the drugs

You keep them under lock and key

In the west away from us.

And you choose who lives and dies.

Why him, why her, why me?

Why her, why him, and why do you choose?"



Mother Africa takes off her large lens glasses

And wipes her eyes

Stephen Lewis doesn't look he's going to cry.

He takes the message back

Back to where it's heard.



Why me, why him, why her?

You choose who lives and dies.

Why do you choose who lives,

Who dies?



Who dies?
