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



Repeat chorus two times
