lyrics

chorus
The men in Angola Prison live in chains
but who do their hearts sing to? 2x

Do they till the fields without satisfaction?
Or bless the sun sinking into sweet earth?
Do their hands get blistered and backs grow tired?
and who do their hearts sing to?

chorus

Do they dream of freedom and talk for hours
as they live together long 85 years?
Do they love each other
or can't be bothered?
and who do their hearts sing to?

chorus

(coda)
We don't need this different kind of slavery
We don't need you to be persecuting poverty
Can't you hear their voices rising?
Who do their hearts sing to?
