African clear blue skies
And the tears in your eyes
Feel the rhythm and beat of the drum
Night approaches the stars
And you feel in your heart
That there's something here that must be done
Pictures are still hanging in my mind
Of the things I've seen that happen far away
I want to be so close
I want to feel it
The anguish they go through each day
African clear blue skies
And the tears in your eyes
Feel the rhythm and beat of the drum
Night approaches the stars
And you feel in your heart
That there's something here that must be done
When you see them all smiles
Joyous rays for a while
Fills your heart with the laughter and pain
And the timing is right
You can put up a fight
To all hunger that causes the rain
Ahhhh...
African clear blue skies
And the tears in your eyes
Feel the rhythm and beat of the drum
Night approaches the stars
And you feel in your heart
That there's something here that must be done
When you see them all smiles
Joyous rays for a while
Fills your heart with the laughter and pain
And the timing is right
You can put up a fight
To all hunger that causes the rain...
