Great Heart |
|
----------- |
|
by Johnny Clegg |
|
This world is filled with strange behavior |
|
Every man has to be his own savior |
|
I know I can make it on my own if I try |
|
But I'm looking for the great heart to stand me by |
|
Underneath the African sky |
|
A great heart to stand me by |
|
Chorus: |
|
I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart |
|
To hold and keep me by |
|
I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart |
|
Under African sky |
|
Sometimes I feel that you barely know me |
|
Sometimes there's so much you can show me |
|
There's a highway of stars across the heavens |
|
There's a whispering sound of the wind in the grass |
|
There's a rolling thunder across the savannah |
|
A hope and a dream at the edge of the sky |
|
And your heart beats a story like the wind |
|
Your heart beats a story like the wind |
|
Chorus: |
|
I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart |
|
To hold and keep me by |
|
I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart |
|
Under African sky |
|
I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart |
|
I see the fire in your eyes |
|
I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart |
|
That beats my name inside |
|
Sometimes I feel that you barely know me |
|
Sometimes there's so much you can show me |
|

Chorus: |

I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart |
|
To hold and keep me by |
|
I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart |
|
Under African sky |
|
I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart |
|
I see the fire in your eyes |
|
I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart |
|
That beats my name inside |
|
Sometimes I feel that you barely know me |
|
Sometimes there's so much you can show me |
