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
 Lagos a dream in the distance
 For promises he'd made behind
 Where there was no harvest
 But he missed the sky and its circus
 And countless the stars
 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"
 ♪
 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"
 ♪
 Joseph rode in on a beam of light
 Dreamed of his queen by his side
 There'll be a beautiful sunset
 And you'll be a beautiful bride
