African Rain Lyrics by Built By Titan

2021

[Verse 1]
Someday when my life is over
I will meet my mother
In the heart of Africa
On that day
If you see my lover
Tell her that I’ll find her
In the light of Africa
But while I am young
I will be your soldier
I will be the shelter
Through the storms of Africa
[Pre-Chorus]
My mother told me there’d be times like these
But just close your eyes son and think of me
‘Cause life can break you, bring you to your knees
So I’ll close my eyes and I will be free
[Chorus]
'Cause in my dreams I run with the lions
I run with the lions through all of my pain
And oh, my heart, it flies like an eagle
It flies like an eagle, over my shame
And all of the hurt and all of the weight
They all wash away in African rain
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ma-ma-ma-way-ah
Ooh, ma-ma-ma-way-ah
Ooh, ma-ma-ma-way-ah
Ooh, ma-ma-ma-way-ah
Ooh, ma-ma-ma-way-ah
Ooh, ma-ma-ma-way-ah
Ooh, ma-ma-ma-way-ah
Ooh, ma-ma-ma-way-ah
Ooh, ma-ma-ma-way-ah
Ooh, ma-ma-ma-way-ah
Ooh, ma-ma-ma-way-ah
Ooh, ma-ma-ma-way-ah
[Verse 2]
Your soul is a light, swimming through an ocean
Bursting in slow motion, through the tears of Africa
So while you are young, I will light the fire
I can be the fighter, through the wars of Africa
[Pre-Chorus]
My mother told me there’d be times like these
But just close your eyes son and think of me
‘Cause life can break you, bring you to your knees
So I’ll close my eyes and I will be free
[Chorus]
'Cause in my dreams I run with the lions
I run with the lions through all of my pain
And oh, my heart, it flies like an eagle
It flies like an eagle, over my shame
And all of the hurt and all of the weight
They all wash away in African rain
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ma-ma-ma-way-ah
Ooh, ma-ma-ma-way-ah
Ooh, ma-ma-ma-way-ah
Ooh, ma-ma-ma-way-ah
Ooh, ma-ma-ma-way-ah
Ooh, ma-ma-ma-way-ah
Ooh, ma-ma-ma-way-ah
Ooh, ma-ma-ma-way-ah
[Bridge]
From the top of Kilimanjaro
To the edge of the mighty Red Sea
Oh, African rain, African rain is falling on me
In the songs and the voices of my town
To the broken pieces in me
Oh, African rain, African rain is setting me free
[Refrain]
Ooh, ma-ma-ma-way-ah
Ooh, ma-ma-ma-way-ah
Ooh, ma-ma-ma-way-ah
Ooh, ma-ma-ma-way-ah
[Chorus]
'Cause in my dreams I run with the lions
I run with the lions through all of my pain
And oh, my heart, it flies like an eagle
It flies like an eagle, over my shame
And all of the hurt and all of the weight
They all wash away in African rain
[Outro]
From the top of Kilimanjaro
To the edge of the mighty Red Sea
Oh, African rain, African rain is falling on me
In the songs and the voices of my town
To the broken pieces in me
Oh, African rain, African rain is setting me free
