lyrics

It’s a song about a land from old times
A far away plain dried by the clime
I see the sun risin’ up in the bush's colors
Tree stumps on the low side, and tasty flavors

I feel the wind's mixing with the ashes
And there, zebras run along the marshes
Well, blow my shadow, would you rock me mama
Beause I've got to go, I’ve got to go

AFRICA... I will come back to you again.
AFRICA... I wanna get you out of pain, get you out of pain.

Now I’m drivin’ slowly on a dusty trail
I see the old man's crowned when the young hears his tales
Walking barefoot for three miles, a woman carries a bowl
She looks at me a bit shy with a grin under a shawl

I see flames whirl in the night
And then, twigs burn on the campsite
You can hold me in your arms, so I can keep faith
I feel love baby, when I see your face

AFRICA... I will come back to you again.
AFRICA... I wanna get you out of pain, get you out of pain.

You know I just have one shame
And it’s still playing the same old phoney game
While you're showing me the way to hope and smile within misery
I’m just wondering, do we deserve a glow of sympathy?

AFRICA... I will come back to you again.
AFRICA... I wanna get you out of pain.
AFRICA... I will come back to you again.
AFRICA... I wanna get you out of pain, get you out of pain.
