Africa

Breaking away
I want to stay
Lay in your arms awhile
And watch break of day
Safe in your smile
Mile after mile
I have a photograph
Containing my view
Image of you
Hear the drums
Caress the sound
The music is all around
Each beat could be the start
The end for a lonely heart
[Chorus:]
Come to me go with me Africa
Here in your mystique Africa
Dark and serene
Just like a dream
Gaze at the deepest eyes
That I've ever seen
Live for today
Watch child at play
He speaks of innocence
So far from away
Stay understood
All of life before you stands
Beginning the ancient man
Each beat be the one
A shot from a loaded gun
[Chorus]
I have a photograph Africa
Lay in your arms awhile Africa
[Chorus 2x]
