GREAT HEART
written by Johnny Clegg

On Jimmy Buffett's HOT WATER album
1988

I'm searching for the spirit of the great heart --- To hold and stand me by
I'm searchin' for the spirit of the great heart --- Under a (West Palm Beach) sky
I'm searchin' for the spirit of the great heart --- I see the fire in your eyes
I'm searchin' for the spirit of the great heart --- That beats my name inside

Sometimes I feel you really know me --- Sometimes there's so much you can show me

Guk a 'mzimba (body grow old) --- Sala 'nhliziyo (but heart remain behind)
