Great Heart
Savuka & Johnny Clegg & Savuka Lyrics

The world is full of strange behavior
The world is a strange place with many peculiar things happening

Every man has to be his own savior
Every person must rely on themselves to save themselves from the strange world

I know I can make it on my own if I try
I believe I have the ability to succeed independently if I put in the effort

But I'm searching for a great heart to stand me by
However, I am still looking for someone with a kind and supportive heart to stand by me

Underneath the African sky
This search is taking place in the African continent

I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart
I am looking for a person with a caring and loving heart

To hold and keep me by
Someone who will support and stay with me

Sometimes I feel that you really know me
Occasionally, I feel like someone understands me deeply

Sometimes there's so much you can show me
There are times when someone can teach me a lot

There's a highway of stars across the heavens
The sky is filled with many stars, creating a path across the sky

There's whispering song of the wind in the grass
The wind makes a gentle rustling sound when it blows through the grass

There's the rolling thunder across the savanna
Thunder can be heard as it rolls across the savanna region

A hope and dream at the edge of the sky
There is a feeling of hope and possibility at the horizon

And your life is a story like the wind
Life is constantly changing and unpredictable, like the wind

I see the fire in your eyes
I can see passion and determination in someone's eyes

That beats my name inside
Someone cares for me deeply and I am always on their mind

Guka 'mzimba, sala 'nhliziyo
Zulu phrase meaning "hold the body, hold the heart"
