[Verse 1]
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
But I'm searching for a great heart to stand me by
Underneath the African sky
A great heart to stand me by

[Chorus]
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
Sometimes I feel that you really know me
Sometimes there's so much you can show me

[Verse 2]
There's a highway of stars across the heavens
The whispering song of the wind in the grass
There's the rolling thunder across the savanna
A hope and dream at the edge of the sky
And your life is a story like the wind
Yes, your life is a story like the wind

[Chorus]
I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart
To hope and keep me by
I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart
Under African skies
Sometimes I feel that you really know me
Sometimes there's so much you can show me
[Bridge]

[Chorus]
I'm searching for the spirit of this great heart
I see the fire in your eyes
I'm searching for the spirit of this great heart
(Of this great heart)
That beats my name inside
Sometimes I feel that you really know me
Sometimes there's so much you can show me
