  G
Joseph rode in on a beam of light

Stray dogs to welcome him, fights,
              Bm
corrugate cathedrals
     F
The sight of the pilgrim's going
                         C 
nowhere in millions of cars

 G
Lagos a dream in the distance
From promises he'd made behind
                    Bm
Where there was no harvest
     F
But he missed the sky and its circus
                     C 
And countless, the stars

Chorus:
   Em
In Africa
The rivers are perfectly deep
                 Bm
And beautifully wide
   C
In Africa
The mothers will sing you to sleep
                  Bm      C
And say, "It's alright, child
       Bm   C
It's alright"

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"

 G
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
