sitting on a wire fence
staring at the sun
fighting don't make no sense
staring at the sun
we are only poor men
staring at the sun
walking through the dust again
staring at the sun
wanting to feel the rain
staring at the sun
we are only poor men
nowhere left to run
warriors and tall men
staring at the sun
chorus
dancing for rain
walking in the dust again
dancing for rain again
dancing for rain
until the river runs again
dancing for rain again
looking out though iron bars
staring at the sun
all eyes in africa
staring at the sun
we are only poor men
nowehere left to run
warriors and tall men
staring at the sun
chorusI'm standing at the coast
and I listen to the waves
I'm searching for a place
to anchor my heart
But the water is too deep
to find You
I'm drifting away
washed to the shore
Sand in my eyes
I can't find You
I'm searching stone for stone
I'm diving blue for blue
I'm diving deep in You
but I can't find You
Waters wash my soul
I listen to the waves
telling stories far from home
They live and breathe and break
they're washing clear my soul
