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
