Breaking away I want to stay Lay in your arms awhile And watch break of day Safe in your smile Mile after mile I have a photograph Containing my view Image of you Hear the drums Caress the sound The music is all around Each beat could be the start The end for a lonely heart [Chorus] Come to me go with me Africa Here in your mystique Africa Dark and serene Just like a dream Gaze at the deepest eyes That i've ever seen Live for today Watch child at play He speaks of innocence So far from away Stay understood All of life before you stands Beginning the ancient man Each beat be the one A shot from a loaded gun [Chorus] I have a photograph Africa Lay in your arms awhile Africa [Chorus: x2]
