lyrics

Got solitude in Nostrand Avenue
Felt gratitude in Lafayette Avenue
And the sky was blue for no one else but true
people that came from the land, land of Africa

Now you smell the scent of summer in the air
And the breeze just went through me down the stairs
If I'm the only fool who wanders all around
Just leave me playing underground in America

Every corner of this town I meet someone
Every corner of this town there's a ghost who ask me to sing

That song from Africa ah ah, that song from Africa ah ah
That song from Africa, can't you sing?

Oh oh la la la la la, oh oh la la la la la

My latitude now needs to be defined
With the magnitude of the stars that shine
I remember this time for I've been through some time
Thinking of the meaning of drifting through the years

Every corner of this town I meet someone
Every corner of this town there's a ghost who ask me to sing

That song from Africa ah ah, that song from Africa ah ah
That song from Africa, can't you sing?

(Solo)

That song from Africa ah ah, that song from Africa ah ah
That song from Africa ah ah, can't you sing me?
That song from Africa ah ah, that song from Africa ah ah
That song from Africa ah ah, can't you sing me?
That song from Africa ah ah, that song from Africa ah ah
That song from Africa...
