Over Africa Lyrics

by Gretchen Peters

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

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e75149-gretchen_peters~over_africa_lyrics.html ]
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
