LyricMeaning

Africa
Peter Mayer

They say the sights and sounds down in Africa
Seem like ones you’ve seen and heard before
Even though you arrive
For the very first time
You have a sense of returning

They say there is a dream down in Africa
Dreamt about 5 million years ago
It’s a dream to survive
A dream of standing upright
And setting out on a new life

CHORUS: So I say to my hands, can you remember Africa?
And I say to my feet, do you remember Africa?
Do you remember?
Do you remember Africa?

You can hear a song down in Africa
Between the eastern mountains and the coast
It’s a song that you know
Rising up from the bones
And it’s telling your story

There is a human heart born in Africa
Beating now for eons, it is your own
A tenacious, ancient will
Quite alive inside you still
And it’s dreaming on
Dreaming on

CHORUS:
