I know it's night — I know it's hot
I know I'm white — and I know you're not
But I am trying to find the way to Lambarene
Too far to walk, too dark to drive
The engine's dead, but the jungle's alive
And I've been trying to find the way to Lambarene
Mama shakes — mama dies
Baby
wakes — baby cries
And I will try to take you home to Lambarene
City boy don't understand
He's jumping out of the fire, jumping into the frying pan
And he is trying to find the way to Lambarene
And we are trying to find the way to Lambarene
Down below, where the sun never shines
Down below the diamond mines.
