Children Of Afrika (Album Version)

by Maurice White

Lyrics
African heartbeat, oh, what a dance
African heartbeat, I wanna dance
African heartbeat, oh, what a dance
African heartbeat, I wanna dance

Born in Africa, children of the sun
Walk upon this earth as the chosen ones
Guided by the light of an eastern moon
Fire of the dance is alive in you

African heartbeat, oh, what a dance
African heartbeat, I wanna dance

Lion in your heart, eagle in your eye
Awaken to the dawn of eternal life
Let your spirit speak to a distant drum
Dreams of Africa, children of the sun

I will dream of Africa
Joy to the children, let freedom ring
My heart beats strong for Africa
Child of creation, song of a nation
Is calling us to dance

African heartbeat, oh, what a dance
African heartbeat, I wanna dance

Let's ride the wings of Isis upon the wind
From the valley of the kings where the dance began
This will be your land, prince of ebony
Skies above the desert watch over me

Sing a song of Africa
Raise up our voices, let touch the sky
My heart beats strong for Africa
Hey, joyous child
Gift of the wild, hey
Bring life into this land

I dream of Africa
Children of the night
I dream of Africa
The time will come, alright

Float upon the river, take my heart to paradise
Ashes from the fire rising high into the sky
Ancient song, take me back in time

We will dream of Africa
Joy to the children, let freedom ring
My heart beats strong for Africa
Africa, oh, Africa
Give your heart and spread the word of love
Right across the land
Africa, oh, Africa
The talking drums are calling us to dance

Send our dreams to Africa (Africa, we send love)
Free as the lions, forever more (We send love to Africa)
Dreams are made in Africa (We send love, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Sing a song of Africa (We send love)
My heart beats strong for Africa (We send love)
Sing a song of Africa (We send love)
My heart beats strong for Africa (We send love, yeah)
World sends love, yeah
Sing a song of Africa
My heart beats strong for Africa
Sing a song of Africa
