Verse 1)Dusty roads of deep acacia redWhere the ancient giants used to treadTwo paths cross beneath the baobab shadeWhere the wild and restless world was madeEyes reflect the wide horizon lineA sudden spark of destiny divineHand in hand, we watch the shadows growAs the golden sun begins to fall down low.(Chorus)And we are living the African dreamUnderneath a blanket of starlight supremeWhere the lions call and the rivers gleamLost in the rhythm of the African dreamHolding you close in the warm night airWith the wild heartbeat of the land we share.(Verse 2)The campfire flickers as the daylight diesSwept away beneath the endless skiesAn ocean of stars starts to unfoldTracing stories that the elders toldOut in the dark, the savanna breathesA whisper of wind through the tall grass leavesWe find our paradise, pure and freeIn the vast embrace of the Serengeti.(Chorus)And we are living the African dreamUnderneath a blanket of starlight supremeWhere the lions call and the rivers gleamLost in the rhythm of the African dreamHolding you close in the warm night airWith the wild heartbeat of the land we share.(Bridge)We make love under the midnight skyWhile the shadows of elephants wander byThe drums of the earth beat steady and lowIn the sweetest surrender we will ever knowSands of time shifting under our feetWhere the ancient world and our futures meet.(Guitar Solo / Instrumental Break)(Chorus)And we are living the African dreamUnderneath a blanket of starlight supremeWhere the lions call and the rivers gleamLost in the rhythm of the African dreamHolding you close in the warm night airWith the wild heartbeat of the land we share.(Outro)The sun starts to rise in a purple hazeEnding the magic of the midnight dazeBut the dream lives on in the morning lightBorn in the wild of an African nightAn African dream...Forever alive in our hearts.
