Lyrics:

Sometimes alone in the evening, I look outside my window
At the shadow in the night
I hear the sound of distant crying, the darkness multiplying
The weary hearts denied

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

'Cause in my African dream
There's a new tomorrow
'Cause in my African dream
There's 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

All I want is for our heartbeats
The beat just as one
To silence that confusion
And the pain and the illusion
Will disappear again
And we would never run

'Cause in my African dream
There's a new tomorrow
'Cause in my African dream
There's a dream that we can follow
