African Shadow Man - 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 beBut these days I'm running through the dark
Like a blind man, what's happened to me?
These days searching for a sign
In the badlands, oh, give it to meAfrican 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 manI 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 freeAfrican 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 freeAfrican 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 beOh, it feels alright, it feels alright to me
Oh, it feels alright, it feels alright to beAn African, an African
An African, an African
An African, an AfricanAfrican 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 freeAfrican shadow man
Show me the future if you can, tell it to me
I don't need a Cadillac
To take me where I have to be(Oh, shadow man)
A shadow man
(Oh, shadow man)
A shadow man(Oh, shadow man)
A shadow man
(Oh, shadow man)
A shadow man(Oh, shadow man)
A shadow man
