Over Kilimanjaro, she guards her young Speaks to the darkness in the mother tongue She waits and she watches all night long Calls to her lover then she sings this song I will be there for you whatever comes I am as constant as the beat of a drum My love is stronger than the noon-day sun Over Africa Over Africa It's a force of nature, it's the power of need It'll heal your baby, then make you bleed I will be patient, I will bide my time I will be waiting like a mama lion, mama lion I will be there for you whatever comes I am as constant as the beat of a drum My love is stronger than the noon-day sun Over Africa Over Africa Over Africa See that love and money Between quiet and sin We are just wild things Underneath the skin In the cradle of creation We were made this way Run together To our dying day (change rope) (Spoken) It's the law of the jungle It's the angst in trees Built by your census baby Die by the tomb I'd walk through fire I would swim the seas As 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 a drum My love is stronger than the noon-day sun Over Africa Over Africa
