[Intro]
I've been gone much too long
And I'm glad to say
That I'm home, I'm home to stay
[Chorus]
Africa, Africa
I've come home, I've come home
[Verse 1]
To feel my people's warmth
To shelter 'neath your trees
To catch the summer breeze
[Chorus]
Africa, Africa, Africa
I've come home, I've come home
[Flute Solo]
[Verse 2]
I'm home to smell your earth
To laugh with the children
To feel your sun shining down on me
[Chorus]
Africa, Africa
I've come home, I've come home
[Tenor Saxophone Solo]
[Electric Piano Solo]
[Verse 3]
Now I'm home to stay
For many a day
Africa, let your music play
[Bridge]
Africa, Africa
Africa, Africa
Africa, Africa
Africa, Africa
Africa, Africa
Africa, Africa
Africa, Africa
Africa, Africa
[Chorus]
Africa, Africa
I've come home, I've come home
[Tenor Saxophone Solo]
[Bridge]
Africa, Africa
Africa, Africa
Africa, Africa
Africa, Africa
Africa, Africa
Africa, Africa
Africa, Africa
Africa, Africa
Africa, Africa, Africa
[Outro]
I've come home, I've come home
