Africa I came to change you but instead you changed me And I confess I came to frame you in a photograph But you showed me why And you turned this heart around And I see your smile how it can be So much brighter than me And your silent eyes they scream Of hunger and meaning and eternal dreaming Africa Africa We smiled at you from behind the glass And without reserve and whiter than snow You smiled back at us And you showed me who And you turned this mind around And I see your hands reach out to God So much higher than ours And your silent eyes they scream Of hunger and meaning and eternal dreaming Africa Afrika mimi naku penda
