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
