African Sky Blue

African Sky Blue - Johnny Clegg

African sky blue your children wait for the dawn

African sky blue soon a new day will be born

African sky blue

African sky blue will you bless my life

African sunshine soon you will warm your children's eyes

The African river water will dance and leap in your morning light

African sunshine

African river water will you bless my life

Oh will you bless my life

Oh will you bless my life

Oh will you bless my life

What can I know

What can I dream

What can I hope

What will the future bring

You shine through me but will you see me through

African sky blue

African thunderstorm your soldiers march through the air

The African rain will fall and wash away all my tears

African falling rain

African falling rain will you bless my life

Oh will you bless my life

Oh will you bless my life

Oh will you bless my life

The warrior's now a worker and his war is underground

With cordite in the darkness he milks the bleeding veins of gold

When the smoking rockface murmurs he always thinks of you

African sky blue will you see him through
