Soweto Gospel Choir – African Dream Lyrics

Verse 1
Sometimes alone in the evening,
I look outside my window
At the shadow in the night
I hear the sound of distant crying,
the darkness multiplying
The weary hearts denied
All I feel is my heartbeat
Beating like a drum
Beating with confusion
All I hear are the voices
Telling me to go
But I could never run

Chorus
Cos’In my African Dream,
there’s a new tomorrow
My African Dream,
Is a dream that we can follow

Verse 2
Now when the night begins to fall,
I listen for your call
I listen for your heartbeat
Although my dream is just a dream,
another false illusion
A shadow in the night
All I want is for our heartbeats
The beat just as one
To silence that confusion
And the pain and the illusion
Will disappear again
And we would never run

(Chorus)

And though it would seem,
my hope’s an illusion
My African Dream
is an end to the confusion

Bridge
This is my African Dream
Let us lift our voices
Sing in harmony, you and me,
I want us to live as one
No more wars, no more anger
This is my land, this is your land
Let us pray for peace, peace, peace, love and harmony
