Father comes home 'cos his money's run out -
seems a little loose tonight, he starts to shout.
Dinner's not on the...
Sometimes I lie awake, wondering if I'll make it out of here,
but the wind blows round my heels, so I stay
I remember lying...
She came looking for me with her arms open wide,
like some long lost friend of mine.
She said 'Excuse me, but do you...
It's in your eyes,
the love you hide away.
You can't disguise
the things you feel, the thing you say
If...
You oughta know by now
that a man can't hold on forever,
so why do you keep waiting here
when you know it makes me want...
Seems I've lingered too long in the darkness
unlock the door, turn the light on and wait.
I should know better than to rest on...
When the daylight comes and I look across the room,
I see you're gone.
As the morning breaks and I reach to hold your hand...
If we can cross at the place that divides us.
cross the river, the river so wide,
if we can smother the pain that's inside...
Well it's a long, long road when you're out there alone,
no matter what side you're on,
but there's a heart of gold behind the...
Come gather 'round people wherever you roam,

Once upon a time I made a lion roar -
he was sleeping in the sunbeams on the old zoo floor.
I had gone to see the park where my papa used to play,
it's called called Villa Borghese and it's on the way
to East Africa.
Down on Grand Comoro Island, where I grew past four,
I could swim and fish and snorkel on the ocean floor,
and the wind laughed, and the wind laughed through the trees as if to say,
here's a child who'll want the world to go his way
in East Africa, in East Africa.
Suddenly for me the world turned upside down -
far from my friends the lions and the dolphins came this awful sound.
Dark shadows, sounds of thunder raging over me,
came this monster called 'A-dre-no-leu-ko-dys-tro-phy'
Where's my East Africa?
Well they said, they said, they said (the ones who know it all)
they said from now on for you there will be no more standing tall,
so I took my parents' hands, I lifted my head to say
I'll just have to be a hero, there's no other way!
Back to East Africa
Back to East Africa
Back to East Africa
Come with me I'm going back, going back to East Africa.
