Once upon a time I made a lion roar |
He was sleeping in the sunbeams on the old zoo floor |
I had gone to see the park where my papa used to play |
It’s called called Villa Borghese and it’s on the way |
Back to To east Africa |
Down on Grand Comoro Island, where I grew past four |
I could swim and fish and snorkel on the ocean floor |
And the wind laughed, and the wind laughed through the trees as if to say |
Here’s a child who’ll want the world to go his way |
Suddenly for me the world turned upside down |
Far from my friends the lions and the dolphins came this awful sound |
Dark shadows, sounds of thunder raging over me |
Came this monster called 'A-dre-no-leu-ko-dys-tro-phy |
Well they said, they said, they said (the ones who know it all) |
They said from now on for you there will be no more standing tall |
So I took my parents hands, I lifted my head to say |
I’ll just have to be a hero, there’s no other way! |
I am going back to east Africa |
Come with me I am going back |
Well I think I am going back |
COme with me to east Africa |
