Johnny Clegg & Savuka - African Litany Lyrics

Trapped in a moment of history You changed the world and the day was yours Laughing sun flashing from your smile Your beach-bronzed body braced against the wind But you forgot the wheel keeps turning And one day the dawn left you behind And though I tried to love you I really have to go ’cause the world is leaving you behind The world is leaving you behind The world is leaving you behind Chorus I’ll sing an african litany for you An african litany for me An african litany for you And I hope we see these times through I think this dream is going to end The past is no longer your friend Memory upon memory binds you into a timeless web ’cause you forgot the wheel keeps turning And one day the dawn left you behind And now you’re trapped there forever Till the embers of that glowing day have died Till the embers of that glowing day have died Till the embers of that glowing day have died Chorus african! litany! African! litany! I’ll sing an african litany for you Fare thee well and fond adieu An african litany for me I hope we see these times through Johnny Clegg & Savuka Lyrics African Litany Lyrics
