[Verse 1]
I've seen the plains of India
Blowing in the wind
I've heard the cries of Africa
Will they ever end?

[Verse 2]
We danced around the fire
There were faces in the flames
Earth was being broken
As they leaped up and decay

[Chorus]
When have I been here
I've seen this before
When have I seen this
I've been here before

[Verse 3]
I listened to the chanting
Of the voices through the rain
And the paint ran down their faces
While everything washed away

[Verse 4]
The villages were burning
And turning me around
This ground that we had danced on
Began to make a sound
[Chorus]
When have I been here
I've seen this before
When have I seen this
I've been here before

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
When have I been here
I've seen this before
When have I seen this
I've been here before

[Outro]
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
