Gretchen Peters - Over Africa lyrics

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
