Coldplay – Èkó
Èkó [Verse 1] Joseph rode in on a beam of light Stray dogs to welcome him, fights, corrugate cathedrals The sight of the pilgrim Going nowhere in millions of cars Lagos a dream in the distance From promises he'd made behind Where there was no harvest But he missed the sky and its circus And countless the stars [Chorus] In Africa, the rivers are perfectly deep and beautifully wide In Africa, the Mothers will sing you to sleep And say "it's alright, child, it's alright" [Chorus] In Africa, we dance in the water and hold each other so tight In Africa, the Mothers will sing you to sleep And say "it's alright child, it's alright" [Verse 2] Joseph rode in on a beam of light Dreamed of his queen by his side There'll be a beautiful sunset And you'll be a beautiful bride |
