Ah-hmm                    Joseph rode in on a beam of light Stray dogs to welcome him fights corrugate cathedrals The sight of the pilgrim's going nowhere in millions of cars Lagos a dream in the distance From promises he'd made behind Where there was no harvest But he missed the sky and its circus And countless the stars In Africa The rivers are perfectly deep And beautifully wide In Africa The mothers will sing you to sleep And say "It's alright child It's alright"   Yeah      Ah-hmm             Ah-hmm          In Africa We dance in the water and hold Each other so tight In Africa The mothers will sing you to sleep And say "It's alright child It's alright"   Joseph rode in on a beam of light And dreamed of his queen by his side There'll be a beautiful sunset And you'll be a beautiful bride
