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
