African Skies

Africa You say you're surprised I thought I'd write today Pieces of my life That time can't fade away Land lies dry, Africa Clouds roll by, Africa I held you every night I believed in all you'd say Now the dust blows in my eyes Dreams don't fade away The sky burns red, Africa Don't you cry, Africa Africa, when you cry it rains, Africa Still the children smile, Africa When you cry it rains, Africa When the wild dogs howl, Africa Still the clouds roll by, Africa
