The world is full of strange behaviour

Every man has to be his own saviour

I know I can make it on my own if I try

But I'm searching 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 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 really know me

Sometimes there's much you can show me



There's a highway of stars across the heavens

The whispering song of the wind in the grass

There's the rolling thunder across the savanna

A hope and dream at the edge of the sky

And your life is a story like the wind

Your life is a story like the wind



Chorus



Guk a 'mzimba (body grow old)

Sala 'nhliziyo (but heart remain behind
