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 tommorow
Cos' in my african Dream
There's a dream that we can follow
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 dissapear again,
And we would never run
[Chorus:]
Cos' in my African Dream
There's a new tommorow
Cos' in my african Dream
There's a dream that we can follow
