[Intro] (Fast-paced Soukous guitar riff) (Shouts: Let’s dance! Africa!) [Verse 1] Take me back to the place where the mango grows Where the red dust settles on your toes Grandma cooking in the open air Music and laughter everywhere I’ve been traveling a long, long time But nothing tastes sweet like the palm wine [Pre-Chorus] Can you hear the drum? Calling everyone From the city to the village It’s a beautiful privilege [Chorus] Under the African sky We are soaring so high Stars are shining like diamonds tonight Everything is gonna be alright Dance until the morning break Give as much as you can take Under the African sky (Oh-way-oh) We are free to fly [Verse 2] No matter where I go in this big wide world With my flag and my banner unfurled My spirit is anchored in the soil Built on love and honest toil Feel the heat, feel the beat, feel the love Blessings falling down from above [Bridge] (Percussion break - Djembe solo) Move your body Shake your body Don't be stiff Catch the riff [Chorus] Under the African sky We are soaring so high Stars are shining like diamonds tonight Everything is gonna be alright Dance until the morning break Give as much as you can take Under the African sky (Oh-way-oh) We are free to fly [Outro] (Group vocals joyful) Home sweet home Under the African sky Yeah! [End]
