Harare (/həˈrɑːreɪ/; officially called Salisbury until 1982) is the capital and most populous city of Zimbabwe. Situated in the north-east of the country in the heart of historic Mashonaland, the city has an estimated population of 1,606,000 (2009), with 2,800,000 in its metropolitan area (2006). Administratively, Harare is a metropolitan province, which also incorporates Chitungwiza town and Epworth. It is situated at an elevation of 1,483 metres (4,865 feet) and its climate falls into the subtropical highland category.
The city was founded in 1890 by the Pioneer Column, a small military force in the service of the British South Africa Company, and named Fort Salisbury after the British Prime Minister Lord Salisbury. Company administrators demarcated the city and ran it until Southern Rhodesia achieved responsible government in 1923. Salisbury was thereafter the seat of the Southern Rhodesian (later Rhodesian) government and, between 1953 and 1963, the capital of the Central African Federation. It retained the name Salisbury until 1982, when it was renamed Harare on the second anniversary of Zimbabwean independence.
So you better wake up
Pay attention to me
I need to talk
And you need to see
What I've been feeling
Got so much inside
You know you've been stealing
My peace of mind
You never take the time to listen
You never take the time to care
Hear me - I'm talking to you
Hear me - I wanna tell you the truth
Hear me, hear me - that's all I want
Hear me - I'm hurting inside
Hear me - you better treat me right
Hear me - you're gonna lose me if you don't
I'm like anyone else
I need more than love
Need to know you're a friend
Someone I can count on
Somebody to laugh with
Someone to cry
Somebody to live with - not die
You gotta take the time to listen
You gotta take the time to care
