Safari
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Think of the things you’re going to see
Safari
Think of the world the way it used to be
Safari
We didn’t give you a chance to live
Now we’re sorry
We didn’t think you’d give us all there was to give
Now we’re back where we started
Land of the Zulu that used to be free
Safari
Now they depend on what the tourists want to see
Safari
We didn’t give them a chance to live
Oh so sorry
We didn’t think we’d take all there was to give
Now we’re back where we started
Durban to Cape Town - fly African plane
Safari
Lion and zebra down there on the range
Safari
We didn’t think they would just disappear
Oh we’re sorry
We didn’t listen until too late to hear
Now we’re back where we started
Manhattan skyline made of concrete
Safari
Now we find the jungle right there in the street
Safari
We didn’t know there was another way to live
Now we’re sorry
We didn’t think you’d grow up to be so big
Now we’re back where we started
Doo up doo up do do up doo up etc….
