For New Beginnings
Africa
Oh Africa
Take me away and steal my heart Africa
Where the land is dry but the earth is rich
And the stars are big and plentiful
Africa
Oh Africa
Show me the way and heal my heart Africa
Where the eyes smile and the mind can feel
And the heart does all the talking
Africa
Oh Africa
How I love to love my sweet Africa
With trees of the wildest green and skies filled with orange haze
And winding dusty roads that always seem to lead the way
Africa
Oh Africa
Do not forsake me my dear Africa
Do not leave my ruptured heart to mend itself so far from home
When you cradled me in your arms and made me love and made me swell
Then you left me on the dirt road to bid your sorry farewell
Africa
Oh Africa
There is a piece of me with you
In the place where we lay with the daffodils
You made me new again
