African Skies

AfricaYou say you're surprised

I thought I'd write today

Pieces of my life

That time can't fade awayLand lies dry, Africa

Clouds roll by, AfricaI held you every night

I believed in all you'd say

Now the dust blows in my eyes

Dreams don't fade awayThe sky burns red, Africa

Don't you cry, AfricaAfrica, when you cry it rains, AfricaStill the children smile, Africa

When you cry it rains, Africa

When the wild dogs howl, Africa

Still the clouds roll by, Africa
