Lorenzo

[Verse 1]
Once upon a time
I made a lion roar
He was sleeping in the sunbeams
On the old zoo floor
I had gone to see the park
Where my papa used to play
It's called Villa Borghese and it's on the way

[Chorus]
To east Africa

[Verse 2]
Down on Grand Comoro Island, where I grew past four
Well I could swim and fish and snorkel on the ocean floor
And the wind laughed, and the wind laughed through the trees as if to say
Here's a child who'll want the world to go his way

[Chorus]
Oh woah woah
In east Africa
Oh woah woah
In east Africa
Come sing it

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Suddenly for me
The world turned upside down
Far from my friends, the lions and the dolphins came this awful sound
Dark shadows, sounds of thunder raging over me
Came this monster called 'A-dre-no-leu-ko-dys-tro-phy

[Chorus]
Oh woah woah
Where is my east Africa

[Verse 4]
Well they said, they said, they said "The ones who know it all"
They said from now on for you
There will be no more standing tall
So I took my parents hands, I lifted my head to say
Well I'll just have to be a hero, there's ain't no other way!
No other way

[Chorus]
Oh woah woah
Back to east Africa
Oh woah woah
Back to east Africa
Oh woah woah
Back to east Africa
Back to east Africa
East Africa

[Outro]
I am going back to east Africa
I am going back to east Africa
Come with me I am going back
Well I think I am going back[?]
Come with me to east Africa
