European [I Wish I Was] lyrics

I wish I was a European

I wish I had your beauty and style

Designer cars, what a way of living

With burning eyes I could watch you smile

I wish I was an African

Standing on a hill, spear and shield to hand

I wish I had black Zulu pride

And maybe then I wouldn't need to hide

I wish I was a better man

But as it is, this is how I stand

So don't you leave me alone, dying for the cause

Do I stand alone when that cause is yours

A European

I wish I was a European

I wish I had European style

I wish I was a European

A European, a European

I wish I was a European

A European, a European

A European

I wish I
