C. Edward Alford - Africa lyrics

[Instrumental break] [Verse 1] Africa is my descent And here I am far from home I dwell within a land that's meant Meant for many men not my tone [Verse 2] The blood of God is my defence Let it drip down to my seed Showers to your innocence To protect you for all eternity And with this wood I beat this drum And we won't see defeat From kings and queens becomes a prince Knowledge and wisdom is understanding what we need [Bridge] And this game of love Ever since the day you came My whole world began to change I knew then to dedicate my life For your own And this game of love Everyday I see you grow And remember what you already know I receive, I receive the love That radiates from your glow [Verse 3] From which you came was love And that's how it all should be You and my soul are one Through all the time and history [Outro] And I thank you, thank you
