Great Heart by Johnny Clegg

The world is full of 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 searching for a great heart to stand me by
underneath the African sky
a great heart to stand me by.

I’m searching for the spirit of the great heart
To hold and stand me by
I’m searching for the spirit of the great heart
Under African skies

Sometimes I feel that you really know me
Sometimes there’s so much you can show me.

There’s a highway of stars across the heavens
The whispering song of the wind in the grass
There’s a rolling thunder across the savanna
A hope and a dream at the edge of the sky.

Your life is a story like the wind
Your life is a story like the wind

Chorus

Guk a ‘mzimba
Sala ‘ nhliziyo

I’m searching for the spirit of the great heart
To hold and stand me by
I’m searching for the spirit of the great heart
Under African skies

I’m searching for the spirit of the great heart
I can 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 really know me
Sometimes there’s so much you can show me.
