Song | In My African Dream |
Artist | Johnny Clegg & Savuka |
Album | Heat Dust & Dreams |
作曲 : Clegg | |
Something broke the place where the rain is bornb | |
Something stole the promise from the light of dawn | |
People, people were 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 | |
Didn't believe in miracles, didn't believe you'd come | |
Didn't see any reason to carry on | |
Chorus: | |
But in my african dream, you touched my face | |
Raised up my children and gave them grace | |
In my african dream you wiped away my tears | |
And 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, don't even have a prayer | |
All i can do is close my eyes and hope that you will be thre | |
In my african dream you blessed the rain | |
Let me stand proud, eased the pain, | |
You raised me up, | |
Gave me love, filled my cup. | |
Old man sits in the shade of the thorn treee | |
He says "these thorns are all that are true | |
Life is suffering, suffering is life, | |
Be happy with the small things that come to you | |
They will come to you, come to you." | |
Chorus |
