Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I hear the wind roll down across the plains tonight
A distant drum is calling through the fading light
The stars above are drawing maps I've never read
Of red horizons burning in my restless head
[Chorus]
So I dream of the savanna calling me back home
Where the ancient rivers wander and the wild things roam
Every night I close my eyes and drift across the sea
To the golden hills of Africa, where my heart wants to be
[Verse 2]
The city lights can't hold a candle to that sky
Where the mountains touch the heavens and the eagles fly
I keep a photograph of rain on dusty ground
It's the only place my spirit says it's ever found
[Chorus]
So I dream of the savanna calling me back home
Where the ancient rivers wander and the wild things roam
Every night I close my eyes and drift across the sea
To the golden hills of Africa, where my heart wants to be
[Bridge]
Take me where the baobab trees are standing tall
Where the thunder of the herds is answering the call
I don't need a reason, I don't need a why
Just the endless orange sunset painted in the sky
[Chorus]
So I dream of the savanna calling me back home
Where the ancient rivers wander and the wild things roam
Every night I close my eyes and drift across the sea
To the golden hills of Africa, where my heart wants to be
