Over a land where the water flows An eagle flies where the west wind blows I saw her eyes shining crystal clear One in a million years And our hearts were one under burning suns to the city of gold we will run I still remember the African nights Deep in my memory it burns me inside I've thrown down my chains and I'm ready to fight Can we recapture the fire at the African nights From where I stand I can feel her touch I'm in her hands and it means so much I undersand when the vision is gone This feeling inside carries on If the heart and mind reach a borderline Who could consider it a crime I still remember the African nights Deep in my memory it burns me inside I've thrown down my chains and I'm ready to fight Can we recapture the fire at the African nights
