I held the book so tightly in my hands I saw your picture, heard you call my name There was something strange, I could not look away I wanted to be there, I wanted to go You gave me no warning You gave no reason But I was with you Right by your side Just give me the strength, and I will help you And they can try their hardest, 'cause they don't frighten me It's written in the book It's hotter than I've known before But I feel so cold, and I don't know why But if the fire within your heart can beat the storm Then I really believe, you could make it right Ooh,the time has come now We must show our feelings But I'm looking right through you And your heart is empty Whatever happened to you it's too late to change now There's nowhere you can run to, no place to hide Ah you let me down! But wait a minute, I don't understand It's getting stronger, so grab my hand Don't wanna leave you, don't wanna go But I'm losing all control Can't you see me? I'm slipping away I can only stay if you've the will to keep me here It is written in the book Oh, so many times since I've read those words Just waiting to see you, can you see me?

Pon tu fe en lo que tú más creas Un ser, dos mundos son Te guiará tu corazón Y decidirá por ti Un paraíso sin tocar En este mundo de amor Se vive bien, se vive en paz Suaves huellas dejas en la arena Un ser, dos mundos son Te guiará tu corazón Y decidirá por ti La jungla cubrirá tu ser Sólo amor podría entrar Se vive bien, se vive en paz Ponte alerta, saca el valor Da fuerza a quien necesita Construye hoy tu protección Las cosas hoy cambian Peligro vas a encontrar El llanto no podrá curar La herida de tu corazón No todo está perdido aún Oye, alguien te está llamando Un ser, dos mundos son Te guiará tu corazón Y decidirá por ti

Once upon a time I made a lion roar He was sleeping in the sunbeams on the old zoo floor I'd gone to see the park where my papa used to play And It's called, called Villa Borghese and it's on the way Ohh, to East Africa Down on Grand Comoro Island, where I grew past four Well 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 Well here's a child who'll want the world to go his way Ohh, in East Africa Ohh, in East Africa Come sing it 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' oh no Ohh, 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 Well I just have to be a hero, there ain't no other way, no other way Ohh, back to East Africa Ohh, back to East Africa Ohh, back to East Africa Back to East Africa, East Africa Come with me I'm going back I'm going back to East Africa I'm going back, I'm going back Come on Come with me I'm going back Come with me I'm going back Come with me I'm going back Come with me I'm going back I'm going back to East Africa Come with me, I'm going back Come with me, come with me Come with me, come with me East Africa I'm going back to East Africa
