Come for the build and raise a
And in the jungle, green, their did gleam
In tribute and homage to the old
And soon their children and promised to be true
Orphans of an empire, destiny

Hold me close, Africa, fill my soul,

gentleman, he built mighty walls
And in the afternoon, he plays polo when hes bored
He sips a gin and and tells you confidentially
He wishes he understood the
But the shadows, they are lengthening and the sun, it set

He cannot understand the soldiers, all at
For with guns you cannot fight a foe that dwells
But the battle had and a soldier hes become
Who can sing his
a beggarmans prayer or a string on the wind
Will that be all that lingers on the

And who will that African December?
When he knelt before the colors and swore to do or
And he kissed his frightened lover, beneath the embers

And farewell to your carved upon this continent
Some England, some France and some
Soon you will return to that dream the sea
here is no more honey left for tea

Hold me close, Africa, fill my soul,
Let me old, Africa, let me in
Fill my soul, Africa, dont let me go,
Let me old, Africa, and remember me
