My African dream

Uhhuuu
Uhhuuu

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
The weary hearts denied

And all I feel is my heartbeat
Beating like a drum
Beating with confusion
And all I hear are the voices
Telling me to go
But I could never run

'Cause in my African Dream (Helele helele maaa)
There's a new tomorrow (Helele helele maaa)
My African Dream (Helele helele maaa)
Is a dream that we can follow

Now when the night begins to fall
I listen for your call,
I listen for your heartbeat.
Although my dream is just a dream
Another false illusion,
A shadow in the night

And all I want is for our hearts
To be beating just as one
To silence that confusion
Then the pain and the illusion
Will disappear again
And we will never run

'Cause in my African Dream (Helele helele maaa)
There's a new tomorrow (Helele helele maaa)
My African Dream (Helele helele maaa)
Is a dream that we can follow (Helele helele maaa)

And though it would seem (Helele helele maaa)
My hope is an illusion (Helele helele maaa)
My African Dream (Helele helele maaa)
Brings an end to the confusion
