I've Been Here Before

I've seen the plains of India

Blowing in the wind

I've heard the cries of Africa

Will they ever end?

We danced around the fire

There were faces in the flames

Earth was being broken

As they leaped up and became

When have I been here

I've seen this before

When have I seen this

I've been here before

I listened to the chanting

Of the voices through the rain

And the paint ran down their faces

While everything washed away

The villages were burning

And turning me around

This ground that we had danced on

Began to make a sound

When have I been here

I've seen this before

When have I seen this

I've been here before

You have returned

If only for a moment

Lost what you learned

Your big ideas have disappeared

Now we will wait to see you again
