Great Heart

This 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 I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart To hold and keep me by I'm searchin' for the spirit of the great heart Under African sky Sometimes I feel that you barely know me Sometimes there's so much you can show me 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 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 I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart To hold and stand me by I'm searchin' for the spirit of the great heart Under African sky I'm searchin' for the spirit of the great heart I see the fire in your eyes I'm searchin' for the spirit of the great heart That beats my name inside Sometimes I feel that you really know me Sometimes there's so much you can show me I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart To hold and keep me by I'm searchin' for the spirit of the great heart Under African sky Sometimes I feel that you barely know me Sometimes there's so much you can show me I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart To hold and stand me by I'm searchin' for the spirit of the great heart Under African sky I'm searchin' for the spirit of the great heart I see the fire in your eyes I'm searchin' for the spirit of the great heart That beats my name inside Sometimes I feel you really know me Sometimes there's so much you can show me Guk a 'mzimba (body grow old) Sala 'nhliziyo (but heart remain behind) --- Great Heart - Jimmy Buffett
