Johnny Clegg - Spirit is the Journey

We went to see Johnny Clegg - Spirit is the Journey last night. What a fantastic way to start the holidays. The worst part about the show is that there were too many seats. How are you supposed to sit and enjoy a Johnny Clegg show? The music is so infectious, I had to get up a lot to dance or sway or groove. It is so uplifting. It took me back to the 80's (in a good way!! :-) The 80's and early 90's in South Africa was such an exciting time.

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

I'm searching for the spirit of the Great Heart

I see the fire in your eyes

I'm searching for the spirit of the Great Heart

That beats my name inside

Sometimes I feel that you really know me

Sometimes there's much you can show me

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

Your life is a story like the wind

Chorus

Guka 'mzimba (body grow old)

Sala 'nhliziyo (but heart remain behind)
