Two Weeks In Africa - Lyrics - Caedmon's Call

From Johannesburg to Cape Town, the plane had barely touched down She was taking photos for the friends back home This was where she had always felt her heart belonged She was finally here, the sky was bright and clear Two weeks And we all can feel the calling Two weeks To make the world a little smaller So a girl got on a plane for two weeks in Africa Johannesburg to Houston she came home on a mountain But school was starting, things kept moving on Before you knew it seven years had gone She found a picture of her standing smiling, Arms around the starving kids she swore to not forget She swore to not forget Two weeks And we all can feel the calling Two weeks To make the world a little smaller So a girl got on a plane for two weeks in Africa And if we follow our dear sun to where the shores are not familiar… Faces turn to numbers, numbers fall like manna from the sky Why, oh why, oh Father, why? One village in Malawi now has water running pure and clean One church alive in Kenya's full of truth and love and medicine We put the walls up but Jesus keeps 'em standin' He doesn't need us, but He lets us put our hands in So we can see His love is bigger than you and me Two weeks And we all can feel the calling Two weeks To make the world a little smaller So a girl got on a plane for two weeks in Africa
