You see no ship in the harbour
No match left to strike a light
You couldn't try any harder
To make a lie out of life

Unfolding everywhere is tragic fate
No-one can helpcause it's always too late
A little too late, always a little too late

CHORUS:
You're hooked on tragedy
I'm hooked on life
You see darkness
Where I see light
You say we're victims
I say we don't fight
Yo yo mama I'm gonna tell you tonight

You heart the silence in between the spoken words
I hear the meaning that could change the world
I see the sunrise - you see the sunset
The better I feel - The worse you get

I'm going to Africa
I'm not gonna curl up and die here
I'm going to Africa
I'm gonna touch the flame inside the fire

CHORUS

I'm going to Africa
I'm not gonna curl up and die young
I'm going to Africa
I'm gonna reach out and touch the purple sun

CHORUS
