For every minute that goes by
There's an unanswered question with no reasons why
There's an eagle perchin' in a dying tree
With one eye on you, with one on meAnd I hope to find peace on the
Sweet plains of AfricaFor every button that we push
There's an elephant breedin' behind some bush
There's an vulture perchin' in a dying tree
There's a rhinoceros horn on our big TVAnd I hope to find peace on the
Sweet plains of AfricaFor every second of my life
There's a lion runnin' through the night
There's an eagle perchin' in a dying tree
There's an elephant tusk on our big TVBut I hope to find peace on the
Sweet plains of Africa
And I hope to find peace on the
Sweet plains of AfricaAnd I hope to find peace on the
Sweet plains of Africa
And I hope to find peace on the
Sweet plains of Africa
