Africa Lyrics

Africa lyrics

Africa



I came to change you but instead you changed me



And I confess I came to frame you in a photograph



But you showed me why



And you turned this heart around



And I see your smile how it can be



So much brighter than me



And your silent eyes they scream



Of hunger and meaning and eternal dreaming



Africa







Africa



We smiled at you from behind the glass



And without reserve and whiter than snow



You smiled back at us



And you showed me who



And you turned this mind around



And I see your hands reach out to God



So much higher than ours



And your silent eyes they scream



Of hunger and meaning and eternal dreaming



Africa







Afrika mimi naku penda
