[Verse 1]
Young girl moves to the usa
In the summer
By fall
She's doin all right
On her own

[Verse 2]
Singing every day
Every night
With no fans
With no friends
She gets by

[Chorus]
In the land of opportunity
They don't understand
The girl from africa
With the music in her hands

[Verse 3]
Young girl walks the city
Her guitar and her bible
When people try to help her
She just runs away

[Verse 4]
If you listen real close
When the wind starts to blow
You'll hear her
Singing softly
Low

[Chorus]
In the land of opportunity
They don't understand
The girl from africa
With the music in her hands
