Johnny Clegg - Circle Of Light lyrics

rate me

In the history of all dreams

None has shone as brightly as you

Wrestling with your book of colours

Page by page I look for clues

>from the gloom of my dark window

I know one day I will make that flight, I will.....

Chorus

Step into your circle of light

Ye le le mama

Between jesus and my ancestors

Between my tribe and my "urban cool"

Lies a bridge never crossed by any other

I cross that distance with my sacred shoes

Who needs the stars if you can see the moon

Because in my dreams you keep shining through, I will....

Chorus

Step into your circle of light

Ye le le mama

I'll cross your ocean tonight

Ye le le mama

Into your circle of light

I will leave the house of my father

I do not dream there any more

Dance across the silence of the future

And make for tomorrow's shifting shores

I've got the wind to my back

I've got the moon in my eye

I've got the earth beneath my feet and I'm steady

I've got to meet the dealer and trade a lost soul,

I feel strong and I'm ready....

Chorus
