for every minute that goes by there's
an unanswered question with no reasons why
there's an eagle pearching in a dying tree
with one eye on you, and one on me

and I hope to find peace on the
sweet plains of Africa

for every second of my life
there's a lion running through the night
there's an eagle pearching in a dying tree
there's a rhinoceros horn on our big tv

and I hope to find peace on the
sweet plains of Africa

for every second of my life
there's a lion running through the night
there's an eagle pearching in a dying tree
there's an elephant tusk on our big tv

but I hope to find peace on the
sweet plains of Africa
