Lyrics
Africa
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.
They say the sights and sounds down in Africa
Seem like ones you've seen and heard before
Even though you arrive
For the very first time
You have a sense of returning
They say there is a dream down in Africa
Dreamt about 5 million years ago
It's a dream to survive
A dream of standing upright
And setting out on a new life
So I say to my hands, can you remember Africa?
And I say to my feet, do you remember Africa?
Do you remember?
Do you remember Africa?
You can hear a song down in Africa
Between the eastern mountains and the coast
It's a song that you know
Rising up from the bones
And it's telling your story
There is a human heart born in Africa
Beating now for eons, it is your own
A tenacious, ancient will
Quite alive inside you still
And it's dreaming on
Dreaming on
So I say to my hands, can you remember Africa?
And I say to my feet, do you remember Africa?
Do you remember?
Do you remember Africa?
