Burning Spear

Elephants

The elephants, the elephants

I saw the elephants today

I saw the elephants today

And they were defending each other

And they were defending each other

Why can't east, west, north and south Africa

Oh stand up as one

Why can't east, west, north and south Africa

Oh stand up as one

Side up, side up Africa, side up by side

Move up, move up Africa, move up, move up as one

I saw the elephants today

The elephants the move as one

The elephants the move as one

So Africa should live as one

So Africa should live as one

I saw the elephants today

Side up, side up Africa, side up side by side

Side up, side up Africa, side up side by side

Move up, move up Africa, move up, move up as one

Move up, move up Africa, move up, move up as one

I saw the elephants today

I saw the elephants today

I saw the elephants today

And they were defending each other

And they were defending each other

Why can't east, west, north and south Africa

Why can't east, west. North and south Africa

Oh stand up as one, oh stand up as one

Side up, side up Africa, side up side by side

Side up, side up Africa, side up side by side

Move up, move up Africa, move up, move up as one

Move up, move up Africa, move up, move up as one

I saw the elephants today

The elephants, the elephants, the elephants
