Lyrics: Yes
 
The world is full of strange behaviour
Every man has to be his own saviour
I know I can make it on my own if I try
When I’m searching for the 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 searching for the spirit of the Great Heart
Under African skies
Sometimes I feel that you rarely 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 whole different dream at the edge of the sky
And your life is a story like 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 searching for the spirit of the Great Heart
Under African sky
 
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 meets the name inside
Sometimes I feel that you rarely know me
Sometimes there’s so much you can show me
 
[Instrumental]
 
I'm searching for the spirit of the Great Heart
Guka 'mzimba (body grow old)
Sala 'nhliziyo (but heart remain behind)
I'm searching for the spirit of the Great Heart
Guka 'mzimba (body grow old)
Sala 'nhliziyo (but heart remain behind)

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
 
I'm searching for the spirit of the Great Heart
Guka 'mzimba (body grow old)
Sala 'nhliziyo (but heart remain behind)
I'm searching for the spirit of the Great Heart
Guka 'mzimba (body grow old)
Sala 'nhliziyo (but heart remain behind)
