[Verse 1]
The 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

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Underneath the African sky
A great heart to stand me by

[Chorus 1]
I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart
To hold and keep me by
I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart
Under African sky

[Post-Chorus]
Sometimes I feel that you rarely know me
Sometimes
Sometimes there's so much you can show me
Sometimes

[Verse 2]
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
And a hope and a dream at the edge of the sky
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And your life is the story of the wind
Your life is a story like the wind

[Chorus 1]
I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart
To hold and keep me by
I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart
Under African sky

[Chorus 2]
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

[Post-Chorus]
Sometimes I feel that you rarely know me
Sometimes
Sometimes there's so much you can show me
Sometimes

[Chorus 3]
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
[Chorus 2]
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

[Post-Chorus]
Sometimes I feel that you rarely know me
Sometimes
Sometimes there's so much you can show me
Sometimes

[Outro]
I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart
Guk a 'mzimbo sala 'nhilziyo
I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart
Guk a 'mzimbo sala 'nhilziyo
I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart
Guk a 'mzimbo sala 'nhilziyo
I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart
Guk a 'mzimbo sala 'nhilziyo
