about

Inspired by the great Baobabs that are native to parts of Africa, Madagascar and Australia

lyrics

Underneath the thunder of the African sky
Stood the tallest giant ever known to humankind
And far beneath the canopy the story’s told how
Secrets sleep beneath… the baobab tree

Underneath the thunder of the African sky
The grandest tree twisted thirty metres high
And handed down the generations
legend goes that men made peace beneath… the baobab tree

Beneath the moon
Underneath the starry sky
I’ll lay me down to sleep
Beneath the sun
Underneath the canopy
I’ll sing to the baobab tree

As the sun sets beneath the African sky
The baobab’s silhouette is cast upon the fire
And cooling the savannah’s heat the shadows come
And lovers dance beneath… the baobab tree

Adansonia, Adansonia
Adansonia, Adansonia

Once upon a time there was a girl like me
And she sang little songs to her beloved giant tree
The elemental spirits came to hear her pray:
Oh keep me safe beneath… the baobab tree
Set me free beneath… my baobab tree

I’ll be right here underneath the baobab tree
I will lay me down beneath the baobab tree
I will love you underneath the baobab tree
I will love you, I will love you
I will love you, love you

Under my Adansonia, Adansonia
Adansonia, Adansonia
Africa, Madagascar, Australia
Is our home
Africa, Madagascar, Australia
Where we belong
