Storms in Africa (Part II)


                           Though I walk through
                           warm sands in Africa
                           winds will grow soon
                           to storms in Africa.

                           How far to go
                           I cannot say.
                           How many more
                           will journey this way?

                           Dark skies fall on
                           black earth and ivory.
                           Far from your sun
                           clouds now close over me.

                           How far to go
                           I cannot say.
                           How many more
                           will journey this way?

                           Storms have come!
                           rains wash the earth away
                           Dark skies fall down
                           into another day.
                           Rains have now come
                           from storms in Africa
                           Time will go on
                           through Storms in Africa
