For every minute that goes by
There's an unanswered question with no reasons why
There's an eagle perchin' in a dying tree
With one eye on you, with one on me

And I hope to find peace on the
Sweet plains of Africa

For every button that we push
There's an elephant breedin' behind some bush
There's an vulture perchin' in a dying tree
There's a rhinoceros horn on our big TV

And I hope to find peace on the
Sweet plains of Africa

For every second of my life
There's a lion runnin' through the night
There's an eagle perchin' in a dying tree
There's an elephant tusk on our big TV

But I hope to find peace on the
Sweet plains of Africa
And I hope to find peace on the
Sweet plains of Africa

And I hope to find peace on the
Sweet plains of Africa
And I hope to find peace on the
Sweet plains of Africa
