Intro Ah-hmm Verso 1: Joseph rode in on a beam of light Stray dogs to welcome him, fights, corrugate cathedrals The sight of the pilgrim's going nowhere in millions of cars Verso 2: Lagos a dream in the distance From promises he'd made behind Where there was no harvest But he missed the sky and its circus And countless, the stars In Africa The rivers are perfectly deep And beautifully wide In Africa The mothers will sing you to sleep And say, "It's alright, child It's alright" Ponte: Yeah Ah-hmm Ah-hmm In Africa We dance in the water and hold Each other so tight In Africa The mothers will sing you to sleep And say, "It's alright, child It's alright" Verso 3: Joseph rode in on a beam of light And dreamed of his queen by his side There'll be a beautiful sunset And you'll be a beautiful bride
