Great Heart lyrics

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

(chant)

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

Guk a `mzimbo (body grow old)
Sala `nhilziyo (but heart remain behind
