I’ve been doin’ some Zambezi dreamin’
I’ve been sounding the depths of my soul
Searching the bush trails that wind through my being
In a quest for the place that once was my home

I’ve been doin’ some Zambezi dreamin’
Options I’d pondered just tear me apart
Dreams become nightmares when I think of leaving
Must I think with my head but not with my heart?

There’s an old lion roaring
His last desperate claim
From a freedom drunk people
That waste his domain

Africa’s crying
I know she needs me
Cause the sky’s clouding over
Where eagles and sunsets and stars
Used to be

I’ve been doin’ some Zambezi dreamin’
Between the devil
And the Blue Sea
If I’m denied Africa
One thing’s for certain
I may have to leave her
But she’ll never leave me

There’s an old lion roaring
His last desperate claim
From a freedom drunk people
That waste his domain

Africa’s crying
I know she needs me
Cause the sky’s clouding over
Where eagles and sunsets and stars
Used to be

I’ve been doin’ some Zambezi dreamin’
I’ve been sounding the depths of my soul
Searching he bush trails that wind through my being
In a quest for the place that once was my home

Zambezi dreamin’
Zambezi dreamin’
Zambezi dreamin’
