Lorenzo lyrics

Artist  : Phil collins 
Song : Lorenzo
 
Once upon a time I made a lion roar -
he was sleeping in the sunbeams on the old zoo
floor.
I had gone to see the park where my papa used to
play,
it's called called Villa Borghese and it's on the
way
to East Africa.

Down on Grand Comoro Island, where I grew past
four,
I could swim and fish and snorkel on the ocean
floor,
and the wind laughed, and the wind laughed
through the trees as if to say,
here's a child who'll want the world to go his
way
in East Africa, in East Africa.

Suddenly for me the world turned upside down -
far from my friends the lions and the dolphins
came this awful sound.

Dark shadows, sounds of thunder raging over me,
came this monster called
'A-dre-no-leu-ko-dys-tro-phy'
Where's my East Africa?

Well they said, they said, they said (the ones
who know it all)
they said from now on for you there will be no
more standing tall,
so I took my parents' hands, I lifted my head to
say
I'll just have to be a hero, there's no other
way!
Back to East Africa
Back to East Africa
Back to East Africa
Come with me I'm going back, going back to East
Africa.
