Lyric Great Heart
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
