African Ivory

For every minute that goes by

there's an unanswered question with no reasons why

there's an eagle perching in a dying tree

with one eye on you, and one on me

And I hope to find peace on the

sweet plains of Africa

For every second of my life

there's a lion running through the night

there's an eagle perching in a dying tree

there's a rhinoceros horn on our big tv

And I hope to find peace on the

sweet plains of Africa

For every second of my life

there's a lion running through the night

there's an eagle perching in a dying tree

there's an elephant tusk on our big tv

But I hope to find peace on the

sweet plains of Africa
