in the middle of the world
some call it madagascar
I know you didnt think
I would go that far
holding up the sky
is a giant
of a thousand years age
they call the baobab tree
i know you didnt think
I would want to see
the middle of the world even if
it is madagascar as they say
but late at night
i know you didnt think
I would be up that late
in the deep tropical gloom
when the weather has been
scorching hot and dry
at the very top
of the baobab tree
it begins to bloom
