Johnny Clegg & Savuka - African Shadow Man lyrics

If you come to my house

I will show you something to see

It's a picture of a man

I used to be

But these days I'm running through the dark

Like a blind man -- what's happened to me?

These days I'm searching for a sign

In the badlands -- oh give it to me

Chorus

African shadow man tell me the future if you can

Tell it to me

There's magic in your hands

Touch my life and set me free

African shadow man

I am a refugee

In a world that once was mine

Hunting my tomorrow

On the edge of time

But these days I'm running through the dark

Like a blind man -- what's happened to me?

There days I'm running from a tribe in the badlands

Oh set me free

Chorus

African shadow man tell me the future if you can

Tell it to me

There's magic in your hands

Oh touch my life and set me free

African shadow man tell me the future if you can

Tell it to me

I don't need a Cadillac

To take me where I have to be

It feels alright, it feels alright to me

It feels alright, it feels alright to be

An African

E-ye hum-o-hum-hum-oh

Chorus

African shadow man show me the future if you can

Tell it to me

There's magic in your hands

Oh touch my life and set me free

African shadow man tell me the future if you can

Tell it to me

I don't need a Cadillac

To take me where I have to be

A shadow man
