Over Africa

Under Kilimanjaro she guards her young
 And she speaks to the darkness in the mother tongue
 She waits and she watches all night long
 She calls to her lover and she sings this song
 I will be there for you whatever comes
 I am as constant as the beat of drums
 My love is stronger than the noonday sun
 Over Africa, over Africa
 It's a force of nature, it's the power of need
 Love will heal you, baby and it'll make you bleed
 But I will be patient, I will bide my time
 I will be waiting like a mama lion
 I will be there for you whatever comes
 I am as constant as the beat of drums
 My love is stronger than the noonday sun
 Over Africa, over Africa
 Between love and money, between pride and sin
 We are just wild things underneath the skin
 In the cradle of creation we were made this way
 Bound together 'til our dying day
 It's the law of the jungle, it's the ancient truth
 Live by the senses, baby, die by the tooth
 But I would walk through fire, I would swim the sea
 Long as I live and breathe you belong to me
 I will be there for you whatever comes
 I am as constant as the beat of drums
 My love is stronger than the noonday sun
 Over Africa, over Africa
