African Heart
I was born in the land of lions
I recall their lost colourless eyes
When I talked of a life not yet mine
I'm still wide eyed still bright bright
I stepped into a ring of fire
I'm brave to fight with no one by my side
They're hiding and I'm seeking
Cause I jump for what I want
I remember thinking
Don't let them steal your spark
Qhubekeka Igubu Africa (Get lost in my pure African Heart)
Don't let the US steal your star
Ungaliqhawe ngexesha (You'll be a hero in time)
Heart heart heart
Heart heart heart
That African heart
I'm a black gold animal
Life's a cool carved carnival
There's a new world out my window
It's magical hypnotical
Bitter cold burned out on Bleecker street
New York buildings and I'm down deep
All eyes on The African Bee
Hou jou geloof (Keep your belief)
From East to East and
Don't let them steal your spark
Qhubekeka Igubu Africa (Get lost in my pure African Heart)
Don't let the US steal your star
Ungaliqhawe ngexesha (You'll be a hero in time)
Heart heart heart
Heart heart heart
Heart heart heart
That African heart
Heart heart heart
Heart heart heart
Heart heart heart
That African heart
I came from far far
Plane ticket honey and a guitar
Drink drink my elixir
Guard guard that African Heart
Heart heart heart heart heart heart
Don't let them steal your spark
Qhubekeka Igubu Africa (Get lost in my pure African Heart)
Oh don't let the US steal your star
Don't let the US steal your star yeah
Don't let them steal your spark
Qhubekeka Igubu Africa (Get lost in my pure African Heart)
Don't let the US steal your star
Ungaliqhawe ngexesha (You'll be a hero in time)
Don't let them steal your spark
Qhubekeka Igubu Africa oh (Get lost in my pure African Heart)
Don't let the US steal your star
Ungaliqhawe ngexesha (You'll be a hero in time)
Heart heart heart
Heart heart heart
Heart heart heart
That African heart
Heart heart heart
Heart heart heart
Heart heart heart
That African heart
I came from far far
Innocence no money just a picture
The sun came shining through the cracks of my heart
You know you know you've got to guard guard
That African Heart heart
I recall their lost colourless eyes
When I talked of a life not yet mine
I'm still wide eyed still bright bright
I stepped into a ring of fire
I'm brave to fight with no one by my side
They're hiding and I'm seeking
Cause I jump for what I want
I remember thinking
Don't let them steal your spark
Qhubekeka Igubu Africa (Get lost in my pure African Heart)
Don't let the US steal your star
Ungaliqhawe ngexesha (You'll be a hero in time)
Heart heart heart
Heart heart heart
That African heart
I'm a black gold animal
Life's a cool carved carnival
There's a new world out my window
It's magical hypnotical
Bitter cold burned out on Bleecker street
New York buildings and I'm down deep
All eyes on The African Bee
Hou jou geloof (Keep your belief)
From East to East and
Don't let them steal your spark
Qhubekeka Igubu Africa (Get lost in my pure African Heart)
Don't let the US steal your star
Ungaliqhawe ngexesha (You'll be a hero in time)
Heart heart heart
Heart heart heart
Heart heart heart
That African heart
Heart heart heart
Heart heart heart
Heart heart heart
That African heart

Guard guard that African Heart
Heart heart heart heart heart heart
Don't let them steal your spark
Qhubekeka Igubu Africa (Get lost in my pure African Heart)
Oh don't let the US steal your star
Don't let the US steal your star yeah
Don't let them steal your spark
Qhubekeka Igubu Africa (Get lost in my pure African Heart)
Don't let the US steal your star
Ungaliqhawe ngexesha (You'll be a hero in time)

The sun came shining through the cracks of my heart
You know you know you've got to guard guard
