Savannah in the dead of night
Creatures in the dark
Hyenas keep their distance
From the carrion of the heart
As fearsome as the panther's eye
The sadness of the tribe
A star for everyone of us
The shine of heaven's tears
Deathbirds fly between them now
The sadness is so near
Relentless as the lion's hold
The sadness of the tribe
The warrior will not shield his eyes
His arms are open wide
Do not hide the sadness of the tribe
The woman in the village knows
Her tears are not her own
Do not hide the sadness of the tribe
Eucalyptus in the dawning mist
Fires are burning low
A barefoot girl goes from the hills
To where she does not know
Crying in the morning light
The sadness of the tribe
The warrior...
Africa
I've stood in your rain
I've stood in your heartland
Africa
There's nowhere to hide
The sadness of the tribe
Is the sorrow of the world
Startled pink flamingoes rise
Into an auburn cloud
While crowds of barefoot wanderers
Live only where allowed
The madness of captivity
The sadness of the tribe
The warrior...
