Lyrics

The day is at sunset

The day is ending.

Upon the sea

Overlooking the sea.

The sunrise warms the mountains

The sunrise is warming the mountains.

And starts the day for me

Starting a new day for the speaker.

The wind brings the rain

The wind brings rain.

Turns the valleys green

Turning the valleys green.

It's a place I call home

Describing a place called home.

The most beautiful I have ever seen

It's the most beautiful place the speaker has ever seen.

And I can't get lonely just knowing that it's there

The speaker doesn't feel lonely knowing that this place exists.

I love that place only

Expressing love for that place.

And tell everybody who wants to hear

Telling everyone about this place.


That down in Africa

Referring to a place in Africa.

There's a town that I prefer

A town in Africa that the speaker prefers.

To anything that mine made or

Preferred over anything created by the speaker.

Any sum of money paid

More valuable than any amount of money.

Down in Africa

Reiterating the town in Africa as special.

There's a town that I prefer

Reaffirming the preference for the town.

To any other place in the world

It's the speaker's favorite place in the world.


It's been torn apart

Describing the town as torn apart due to a battle for human rights.

In a battle for human rights

Highlighting the struggle for human rights.

Made headlines the whole world over

The town gained global attention for human rights issues.

Always see out the fights

Always involved in fights for rights.

Turn your cameras to the mountains

Directing attention to the mountains through cameras.

And show them the scene

Showcasing a scene from the mountains.

And I pray to God that in this town

Praying for freedom for every man in that town.

Every man should be free

Expressing a desire for universal freedom in the town.

And I hate the laws

Expressing hatred for laws turning the home into a battleground.

That turn my home to a battleground

Despite the laws, the place is beautiful.

It's such a beautiful place

Emphasizing the beauty of the place.

Truly goodness and mercy must be found

Goodness and mercy should prevail in that town.


Down in Africa

Reiterating the preference for the town in Africa.

There's a town that I prefer

Preferred over anything created by man.

To anything that man has made or

More valuable than any amount of money.

Any sum of money paid

Reaffirming the town's special status.

Down in Africa

Reiterating the preference for the town.

There's a town that I prefer

Favorite place in the world.

To any other place in the world

Down in Africa

Reiterating the preference for the town in Africa.
