Song Lyrics

Great Heart
By: Johnny Clegg
1987
Travelling always increases the appetite for new music and I found Johnny Clegg tapes in the south of France and was immediately hooked on them. I`m glad there are still younger artists who write and play their own songs that I wish I had written. This is one of them.
(chant)

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 searchin` for a 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 rarely know me (sometimes)
Sometimes there`s so much you can show me (sometime)

There`s a highway of stars across the heavens
There`s a whispering song of the wind in the grass
There`s a rolling thunder across the savannah
And a hope and a dream at the edge of the sky
And your life is the story of the wind
Your life is 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 rarely know me (sometimes)
Sometimes there`s so much you can show me (sometime)

(chant)

Chorus:
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 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 rarely know me (ah... sometimes)
Sometimes there`s so much you can show me (ay yai... sometime)

Coda:
I`m searching for the spirit of the great heart
Guk a `mzimbo sala `nhilziyo
I`m searching for the spirit of the great heart
Guk a `mzimbo sala `nhilziyo
I`m searching for the spirit of the great heart
Guk a `mzimbo sala `nhilziyo
I`m searching for the spirit of the great heart
Guk a `mzimbo sala `nhilziyo
