sitting on a wire fence

staring at the sun

fighting don't make no sense

staring at the sun

we are only poor men

staring at the sun



walking through the dust again

staring at the sun

wanting to feel the rain

staring at the sun

we are only poor men

nowhere left to run

warriors and tall men

staring at the sun



chorus

dancing for rain

walking in the dust again

dancing for rain again

dancing for rain

until the river runs again

dancing for rain again



looking out though iron bars

staring at the sun

all eyes in africa

staring at the sun

we are only poor men

nowehere left to run

warriors and tall men

staring at the sun



chorus
