Lorenzo (Demo) Songtext / Lyric

Once upon a time I made a lion roar

He was sleeping in the sunbeams on the old zoo floor

I'd gone to see the park where my papa used to play

And It's called, called Villa Borghese and it's on the way



Ohh, to East Africa



Down on Grand Comoro Island, where I grew past four

Well I could swim and fish and snorkel on the ocean floor

And the wind laughed, and the wind laughed through the trees as if to say

Well here's a child who'll want the world to go his way



Ohh, in East Africa

Ohh, in East Africa

Come sing it



Suddenly for me the world turned upside down

Far from my friends the lions and the dolphins came this awful sound

Dark shadows, sounds of thunder raging over me

Came this monster called 'A-dre-no-leu-ko-dys-tro-phy' oh no



Ohh, where's my East Africa?






Well they said, they said, they said the ones who know it all

They said from now on for you there will be no more standing tall

So I took my parents hands, I lifted my head to say

Well I just have to be a hero, there ain't no other way, no other way



Ohh, back to East Africa

Ohh, back to East Africa

Ohh, back to East Africa

Back to East Africa, East Africa



Come with me I'm going back

I'm going back to East Africa

I'm going back, I'm going back

Come on



Come with me I'm going back

Come with me I'm going back

Come with me I'm going back

Come with me I'm going back



I'm going back to East Africa

Come with me, I'm going back

Come with me, come with me

Come with me, come with me

East Africa

I'm going back to East Africa
