Elephants Lyrics - Burning Spear

The elephants, the elephants 

I saw the elephants today 

I saw the elephants today 

And they were defending each other 

And they were defending each other 

Why can't east, west, north and south Africa 

Oh stand up as one 

Why can't east, west, north and south Africa 

Oh stand up as one 

Side up, side up Africa, side up by side 

Move up, move up Africa, move up, move up as one 

I saw the elephants today 

The elephants the move as one 

The elephants the move as one 

So Africa should live as one 

So Africa should live as one 

I saw the elephants today 

Side up, side up Africa, side up side by side 

Side up, side up Africa, side up side by side 

Move up, move up Africa, move up, move up as one 

Move up, move up Africa, move up, move up as one 

I saw the elephants today 

I saw the elephants today 

I saw the elephants today 

And they were defending each other 

And they were defending each other 

Why can't east, west, north and south Africa 

Why can't east, west. North and south Africa 

Oh stand up as one, oh stand up as one 

Side up, side up Africa, side up side by side 

Side up, side up Africa, side up side by side 

Move up, move up Africa, move up, move up as one 

Move up, move up Africa, move up, move up as one 

I saw the elephants today 

The elephants, the elephants, the elephants
