intro
Ooh... Ooh...

Verse 1
Sometimes alone in the evening
I look outside my window
At the Shadows in the night
I hear the sound of distant crying
The darkness multiplying
and weary hearts denied
All I feel is my heart beat
Beating like a drum
Beating with confusion
All I hear are the voices
Telling me to go
But I can 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
Alone, my dream is just a dream
Another false illusion
A shadow in the night
All I want is for our heartbeat
To beat just as one
To silence that confusion
Then the pain and the illusion
Will disappear again
And we will never run Chorus'Cos in my African Dream
There's a new tomorrow
My African dream
Is a dream that we can follow

Bridge
And though it seems
My hope is an illusion
My African dream
Brings an end to the confusion

Verse 3
Bawetu we Afrika this is my african dream
Sinelusasa elihle
Igugu le Afrika let us lift our voices
Sizolilandela ma Afrika
Siyayibona inhlanzi I want us to live as one
Ukukhanya kwentokozo
Igugu le Africa
Ukuphela kwenkinga zonke Bawetu we Afrika Sinelusasa elihle
Igugu le Afrika Sizolilandela ma Afrika
Siyayibona inhlanzi Ukukhanya kwentokozo
Igugu le Africa
Ukuphela kwenkinga zonke
