[Verse 1]
Joseph rode in on a beam of light
Stray dogs to welcome him, fights, corrugate cathedrals
The sight of the pilgrim
Going nowhere in millions of cars
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
[Chorus]
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"
[Chorus]
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"
[Verse 2]
Joseph rode in on a beam of light
Dreamed of his queen by his side
There'll be a beautiful sunset
And you'll be a beautiful bride
Joseph rode in on a beam of light
Stray dogs to welcome him, fights, corrugate cathedrals
The sight of the pilgrim
Going nowhere in millions of cars
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"
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"
Joseph rode in on a beam of light
Dreamed of his queen by his side
There'll be a beautiful sunset
And you'll be a beautiful bride
