In My African Dream

Somebody broke the place where the rain is born something stole the promise from the light of the dawn people, people everywhere struggeling to get their share honest cruelty in the eyes of the innocent squeezing one more harvest from the tired earth they call to you, but the wind just blows away their words I didn't believe in miracles, I didn't believe you'd come, I didn't see any reason to carry on Chorus: But in my African Dream, you touched my soul raised up the children, made them whole in my African Dream you wiped away my tears, whispered the promise of a thousand years Children with eyes like souls ready to fly looking at me -- for some kind of sacred sign who will teach the young, the names of the ancient ones who will tell them from whence they come I have no answer, I don't even have a prayer All I can do is close my eyes and hope that you will be there Chorus: In my African Dream, you touched my soul raised up the children, you made them whole in my African Dream you wiped away my tears whispered the promise of a thousand years In my African Dream you blessed the rain
