Madagascar, Carry Us Along

[Verse 1]
You point where the red earth meets the sea
A lemur leaps through the tamarind tree
Baobab keeps its wide arms raised
While warm wind wanders through the vanilla bays

[Pre-Chorus]
You know the path, I’ll follow your feet
Past little market stalls and the dust-road heat

[Chorus]
Madagascar, carry us along
From the forest edge to the shorebird song
You and me where the wild things roam
Every winding trail can lead us home
Madagascar, bright beneath our feet
Salt in the air and a sun-warmed beat

[Verse 2]
You laugh as a chameleon changes its coat
A pirogue rocks by the harbor boats
Rain taps time on the traveler’s hat
And a zebu turns to see where we’re at

[Pre-Chorus]
You know the path, I’ll follow your feet
Past little market stalls and the dust-road heat

[Chorus]
Madagascar, carry us along
From the forest edge to the shorebird song
You and me where the wild things roam
Every winding trail can lead us home
Madagascar, bright beneath our feet
Salt in the air and a sun-warmed beat

[Bridge]
When the red hills fade in the evening blue
I’ll keep this long road close to you
One more bend, one more open bay
Tell me we can stay another day

[Final Chorus]
Madagascar, carry us along
From the forest edge to the shorebird song
You and me where the wild things roam
Every winding trail can lead us home
Madagascar, bright beneath our feet
Salt in the air and a sun-warmed beat

[Outro]
You and me, one more day
Madagascar, lead the way
