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

And the clouds roll by - africa

I held you every night

I believed in all you'd say

Now the dust blows in my eyes

But those dreams won'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
