Lorenzo - 2016 Remaster

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

Oh-oh-oh, 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

Oh-oh-oh, in East Africa
Oh-oh-oh, 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 Adrenoleukodystrophy, oh no

Oh-oh-oh, 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'll just have to be a hero
There's ain't no other way, no other way

Oh-oh-oh, back to East Africa
Oh-oh-oh, back to East Africa
Oh-oh-oh, 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, c'mon

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 East Africa
