In My African Dream
Somebody broke the place where the rain is bor
something stole the promise from the light of the daw
people, people everywhere struggeling to get their shar
honest cruelty in the eyes of the innocen
squeezing one more harvest from the tired eart
they call to you, but the wind just blows away their word

Chorus
But in my African Dream, you touched my sou
raised up the children, made them whol
in my African Dream you wiped away my tears
whispered the promise of a thousand year
Children with eyes like souls ready to fl
looking at me -- for some kind of sacred sig
who will teach the young, the names of the ancient one
who will tell them from whence they com

Chorus
In my African Dream, you touched my sou
raised up the children, you made them whol
in my African Dream you wiped away my tear
whispered the promise of a thousand year
In my African Dream you blessed the rai
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 "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."
