I caught a song on the radio yesterday, the lyrics being something about bringing hope to ‘my africa’. It sounds relatively new, and I think it may have been on a christian station, but I could be off about this. I know it’s pittifully little to go with, but can anyone ID this for me? The term ‘my africa’ or ‘in africa’ was repeated a lot, if that helps.
Any chance it’s this song:

From this CD:

(I just did a cursory Google search, so I have no idea if this is even close._
Sure it wasn’t Toto’s Africa ? The lyrics are pretty unintelligible.
Sadly, no, it’s neither of these. It didn’t seem to have a narraitve. Just a lot of hopeful sentiment about having faith for the future of Africa. If I hear it again, I’ll try to catch more of the lyrics.
Sounds like “Ma Africa” by 1 Giant Leap.
It’s an enormously fun album, BTW.
Fun, yes, but sadly, also not it. Okay, I think I’m gonna go nuts now looking for it. 
Update-
Heard it again yesterday, and they still didn’t say the name or artist. (Grr). I did copy down some of the chorus, though-
“Heaven, send your peace, to africa, to africa.
Heaven, shine your light, on africa, on africa.
Oh heaven, rain your love, on africa, on africa,
Heaven, I need you to (hear? heal?) my africa, my africa…”
Anyone else know what the heck song this is? I want to get a copy, so it’s driving me nuts!
I heard this one the other day (didn’t do anything for me, either), and surprisingly a search for phrases from the lyrics isn’t helping.
If I have this in my head for hours, somebody’s gonna pay.
Can’t find anything on google. Is it pop, reggae, what?
