[Intro] Ah-hmm [Verse 1: Chris Martin] Joseph rode in on a beam of light Stray dogs to welcome him, fights, corrugate cathedrals The sight of the pilgrims going nowhere in millions of cars [Verse 2: Chris Martin] Lagos a dream in the distance From promises he'd made behind Where there was no harvest But he missed the sky and its circus And countless, the stars [Chorus: Chris Martin] In Africa The rivers are perfectly deep And beautifully wide In Africa The mothers will sing you to sleep And say, "It's alright, child It's alright" [Bridge] Yeah Ah-hmm Ah-hmm [Chorus: Chris Martin and Tiwa Savage, Chris Martin] In Africa We dance in the water and hold Each other so tight In Africa The mothers will sing you to sleep And say, "It's alright, child It's alright" [Verse 3: Chris Martin] Joseph rode in on a beam of light And dreamed of his queen by his side There'll be a beautiful sunset And you'll be a beautiful bride
