Dark shadows, sounds of thunder raging over me
I'd gone to see the park where my papa used to play
Come sing it
Well I just have to be a hero, there ain't no other way, no other way
They said from now on for you there will be no more standing tall
Ohh, back to East Africa
Well I could swim and fish and snorkel on the ocean floor
I'm going back, I'm going back
And It's called, called Villa Borghese and it's on the way
Down on Grand Comoro Island, where I grew past four
Come with me I'm going back
Ohh, back to East Africa
I'm going back to East Africa
I'm going back to East Africa
Far from my friends the lions and the dolphins came this awful sound
Come with me I'm going back
Come with me, I'm going back
Ohh, back to East Africa
Come on
Come with me, come with me
So I took my parents hands, I lifted my head to say
Well here's a child who'll want the world to go his way
Came this monster called 'A-dre-no-leu-ko-dys-tro-phy' oh no
Suddenly for me the world turned upside down
Well they said, they said, they said the ones who know it all
East Africa
Come with me, come with me
Ohh, where's my East Africa?
Ohh, to East Africa
Come with me I'm going back
And the wind laughed, and the wind laughed through the trees as if to say
Back to East Africa, East Africa
Ohh, in East Africa
Come with me I'm going back
Come with me I'm going back
Ohh, in East Africa
