Jericho Lyrics


You are a dreamer of dreams, walking a lonely shore
Dream if you will but remember there are iron laws
However much you seek to solve this mystery, no one ignores
The iron vice of history, all those gone before, dreamed to escape
They tried to fly over the palisadesStanding at the gates, this is Jericho and the walls
Reach up to the stars and outside we were singing psalms
Such a strange, strange place for we are the prisoners of the prisoners
We have taken and the prophet's dreams are now forsakenSing me the songs of a world that I once knew, recall the legends
Once so proud and true, my people used to live here not so long ago
But they fled into the night and I was left alone, I guard
These walls for you and me, dream on, sail on my memoryStanding at the gates, this is Jericho and the walls
Reach up to the stars and outside we were singing psalms
Such a strange, strange place for we are the prisoners of the prisoners
We have taken and the prophet's dreams are now forsaken

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Johnny Clegg's second crossover band Savuka takes its name from the Zulu word for "We have risen". Savuka, like Clegg's first band Juluka before it, mixes African music with Celtic folk music and international rock sounds. They recorded four albums: Third World Child (1987), Shadow Man (1988), Cruel, Crazy, Beautiful World (1989), Heat, Dust & Dreams (1993). The last album was nominated for a US Grammy Award for the best world music album in 1993.

In the United States songs performed by Johnny Clegg have appeared in three well-known feature films: "Scatterlings of Africa" in Rain Main, "Dela" in George of the Jungle, and "Life Is a Magic Thing" in the animated film Ferngully.
