Afrikan Dream lyrics

[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 could never run

[Chorus]
Cause in my Afrikan Dream
There's a new tomorrow
My Afrikan 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 you heartbeat
Alone my dream is just a dream
Another false illusion, a shadow in the night
All I want is for our hearts to be beating just as one
To silence the confusion
Then the pain and the illusion will disappear again
And we will never run
[Chorus]
Cause in my Afrikan Dream
There's a new tomorrow
My Afrikan Dream
Is a dream that we can follow

[Post-Chorus]
And though it would seem my hope's an illusion
My Afrikan Dream is an end to the confusion

[Bridge]
Iphupho lethu leAfrika
(this is my African dream)
Linekusasa elihle (yeah)
Igugu eAfrika
(let us lift our voices)
Sizolilandela ma-Afrika
(sing in harmony, you and me yeah, yeah)
Siyayibona inhlansi
(I want us to live as one)
Ukukhanya kwentokozo
(No more wars, no more wars)
Iphupho lethu leAfrika
(no more wars no more hand guns)
Ukuphela kwe'nkinga zonke
Iphupho lethu leAfrika
Linekusasa elihle (This is for love)
Igugu eAfrika (this is your love)
Sizolilandela ma-Afrika
Siyayibona inhlansi
(You and me yeah yeah)
Ukukhanya kwentokozo
(Let's fight for peace, peace and love and harmony)
Iphupho lethu leAfrika
Ukuphela kwe'nkinga zonke
(You and me yeah yeah)
Iphupho lethu leAfrika
(all over all over this world)
Ukuphela kwe'nkinga zonke
(Keep love in our heart, peace in our minds)
