In My African Dream - Johnny Clegg/Savuka

作曲：Johnny Clegg

Somebady broke the place where the rain is bornb

Something stole the promise from the light of dawn

People people

Everywhere struggling to get their share

Honest cruelty in the eyes of the innocent

Squeezing one more harvest from this tired earth

They call to you

But the wind just blows away their words

I Didn&apos t believe in miracles

I didn&apos t believe you&apos d come

I Didn&apos t see any reason to carry on

But in my African Dream you touched my soul

Raised up the children made them whole

In my African Dream you wiped away my tears

Whispered the promise of a thousand years

Children with eyes like souls ready to fly

Looking at me for some kind of sacred sign

Who will teach the young

The names of the ancient ones

Who will tell them from whence they come

I have no answer I don&apos t even have a prayer

All I can do is close my eyes and

Hope that you will be there

In my African Dream you touched my soul

Raised up the children you made them whole

In my African Dream you wiped away my tears

Whispered the promise of a thousand years

In my African Dream you blessed the rain

Let me stand proud eased my pain

African dream you raised me up

Gave me love you filled my cup

Old man sitting in the shade of the thorn tree

He says &quot these thorns are all that is true

Life is suffering suffering is life

Be happy with the small things that come to you

That come to you oh they come to you

They will be coming to you oh come to you &quot

In my African Dream you touched my soul

Raised up the children you made them whole

In my African Dream you wiped away my tears

Whispered the promise of a thousand years

In my African Dream you blessed the rain

Let me stand proud eased my pain

African dream you raised me up

Gave me love you filled my cup

Filled my cup

Filled my cup

Filled my cup

Filled my cup

Filled my cup

Filled my cup

Filled my cup
