Ah-hmm
~#**************#~
[Verse 1: Chris Martin]
~#**************#~
Joseph rode in on a beam of light
~#**************#~
Stray dogs to welcome him, fights, corrugate cathedrals
~#**************#~
The sight of the pilgrims going nowhere in millions of cars
~#**************#~
[Verse 2: Chris Martin]
~#**************#~
Lagos a dream in the distance
~#**************#~
From promises hed made behind
~#**************#~
Where there was no harvest
~#**************#~
But he missed the sky and its circus
~#**************#~
And countless, the stars
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Chris Martin]
~#**************#~
In Africa
~#**************#~
The rivers are perfectly deep
~#**************#~
And beautifully wide
~#**************#~
In Africa
~#**************#~
The mothers will sing you to sleep
~#**************#~
And say, “Its alright, child
~#**************#~
Its alright”
~#**************#~
[Bridge]
~#**************#~
Yeah
~#**************#~
Ah-hmm
~#**************#~
Ah-hmm
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Chris Martin and Tiwa Savage, Chris Martin]
~#**************#~
In Africa
~#**************#~
We dance in the water and hold
~#**************#~
Each other so tight
~#**************#~
In Africa
~#**************#~
The mothers will sing you to sleep
~#**************#~
And say, “Its alright, child
~#**************#~
Its alright”
~#**************#~
[Verse 3: Chris Martin]
~#**************#~
Joseph rode in on a beam of light
~#**************#~
And dreamed of his queen by his side
~#**************#~
Therell be a beautiful sunset
~#**************#~
And youll be a beautiful bride
