Èkó

Lyrics by：Chris Martin/Guy Berryman/Jonny Buckland/Will Champion

Joseph rode in on a beam of light

Stray dogs to welcome him fights corrugate cathedrals

The sight of the pilgrim

Going nowhere in millions of cars

Lagos a dream in the distance

For promises he'd made behind

Where there was no harvest

But he missed the sky and its circus

And countless the stars

In Africa the rivers are perfectly deep and beautifully wide

In Africa the Mothers will sing you to sleep

And say "it's alright child it's alright"

In Africa we dance in the water and hold each other so tight

In Africa the Mothers will sing you to sleep

And say "it's alright child it's alright"

Joseph rode in on a beam of light

Dreamed of his queen by his side

There'll be a beautiful sunset

And you'll be a beautiful bride
