African Shadow Man Lyrics - Singles - Johnny Clegg & Savuka

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 searching for a sign 

In the badlands, oh, give it to me 

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 

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 

Oh, it feels alright, it feels alright to me 

Oh, it feels alright, it feels alright to be 

An African, an African 

An African, an African 

An African, an African 

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 

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
