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
'Cause in my African dream, there's a new tomorrow
My African dream, is dream that we can follow
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
'Cause in my African dream, there's a new tomorrow
My African dream is a dream that we can follow
And though it would seem my hope's an illusion
My African dream is an end to the confusion
Mawetbu we Afrika (This is my African dream)
Nine kusasa Elittlbe
Igugu e Afrika (Yeah, let us left our voices)
Sizoni landela ma Afrika (Sing in harmony, you and me yeah yeah)
Siyayibona Intlanzi (I want us to live as one)
Ukukbanya Kwentokozo (Ooh, no more wars)
Iguguletbu le Afrika (No more wars, no more wars, no more guns)
Ukupbela Kwenkinga Zonke
Mawetbu we Afrika
Nine kusasa Elittlbe (This is for love)
Igugu e Afrika (This is your love)
Sizoni landela ma Afrika
