Album:

Cantando

You know 
I never realized 
That a world so incredibly far away 
As Africa 
Could be so close to me. 


Look where we are right now 
On this beautiful little piece of grass 
Suffocated by a sea of cement 
Oppressed by all the traffic 
Look at the people 
Running, shouting 
Like they have all gone mad. 
You know 
I think, I just might go back to Africa. 


You can joke 
But you can never compare 
This noisy artificial world 
With the natural Sounds of Africa. 


A time strange, mysterious 
Weird almost unreal 
Looking to the sky 
And raising your arms  You can almost caress it 


And you feel inside, To the will to live 
Your skin burned, And you feel a man 
More man 
More sincere. 
You know I think I might just go back to Africa
