Great Heart - Jimmy Buffett

The world is full of strange behavior

Every man has to be his own savior

I know I can make it on my own if I try

But I’m searchin' 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 keep me by

I’m searching for the spirit of the great heart

Under African sky

Sometimes I feel that you rarely know me (sometimes)

Sometimes there’s so much you can show me (sometime)

There’s a highway of stars across the heavens

There’s a whispering song of the wind in the grass

There’s a rolling thunder across the savannah

And a hope and a dream at the edge of the sky

And your life is the story of the wind

Your life is a story like the wind

Chorus:

I’m searching for the spirit of the great heart

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 rarely know me (sometimes)

Sometimes there’s so much you can show me (sometime)

(chant)

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 rarely know me (ah… sometimes)

Sometimes there’s so much you can show me (ay yai… sometime)

I’m searching for the spirit of the great heart

Guk a 'mzimbo sala 'nhilziyo

I’m searching for the spirit of the great heart

Guk a 'mzimbo sala 'nhilziyo

I’m searching for the spirit of the great heart

Guk a 'mzimbo sala 'nhilziyo
