African Heart

I was born in the land of lions
And I recall their lost, colourless eyes
When I talked of a life not yet mine…
I’m still wide eyed still bright-bright
I stepped into a ring of fire
I’m brave to fight with no one by my side
They’re hiding and I’m seeking
Cause I want what I want
I remember thinking
Don’t let them steal your spark
Qhubekeka Igubu Africa
(Get lost in my pure African Heart)
Don’t let the US steal star
Ungaliqhawe ngexesha
(You'll be a hero in time)
I’m a black gold animal
Life’s a cool carved carnival
There’s a new world out my window
It’s magical, Hypnotical
There’s a bitter cold on Bleecker street
New York buildings and I’m down deep
All eyes on The African Bee
Hou jou Geloof (keep your belief)
From East to East and
Don’t let them steal your spark
Qhubekeka Igubu Africa
(Get lost in my pure African Heart)
Don’t let the US steal star
Ungaliqhawe ngexesha
(You'll be a hero in time)
I came from far far
Plane ticket and a guitar
Drink drink my Elixir
Guard guard that African Heart
Don’t let them steal your spark
Qhubekeka Igubu Africa
(Get lost in my pure African Heart)
Don’t let the US steal star
Ungaliqhawe ngexesha
(You'll be a hero in time)
I came from far far
Innocence, no money, just a picture
The sun came shining through the cracks of my heart
You know you know you’ve got to guard guard
That African Heart- Heart
