[C#m]
[B]
Sometimes alone in [C#m] the evening I look outside my window at the shadows in [B] the night
I hear the sound of distant [C#m] crying, the darkness multiplying, the weary
[B] hearts denying
[D] All I feel is [A] my heart beat, beating like [Bm] a drum, beating with [F#m] confusion
[D] All I hear are [A] the voices telling me [Bm] to go, but I can't [F#m]
[B] voice it, my broken [C#m] dreams
There's a year [B] tomorrow, my [C#m] sweetest dream, it's a [F#] dream [B] that we can follow
Now when the night begins [C#m] to fall, I listen for your call, I listen for [B] your heartbeat
Alone my dream is just [C#m] a dream, another false illusion, a shadow in [B] the night
[D] All I want is for [A] my heartbeat to beat just [Bm] as one, to silence that [F#m] confusion
[D] Then the pain and the [A] illusion will disappear [Bm] again, and we will never [F#m]
know
[B] Cause in my African [C#m] dream, there's a new [B] tomorrow
My African [C#m] dream is a dream [B] that we can follow, and though [C#m] we see it
My [E] hopeless and [B] illusion, my African [C#m] dream,
[F#] brings an end [B] to the confusion
