(for Dudu)
|
|
Through all the days that eat away
|
at every breath that I take
|
through all the nights I've lain alone
|
in someone else's dream, awake
|
all the words in truth we have spoken
|
that the wind has blown away
|
it's only you that remains with me
|
clear as the light of day
|
|
Chorus: O Siyeza, o siyeza , sizofika webaba noma
|
(we are coming, we are coming, we will arrive soon)
|
O siyeza, o siyeza, siyagudle lomhlaba
|
(we are coming, we are coming, we are moving across this earth)
|
Siyawela lapheshaya lulezontaba ezimnyama
|
(we are crossing over those dark mountains)
|
Lapha sobheka phansi konke ukhulupheka
|
(where we will lay down our troubles)
|
|
A punch drunk man in a downtown bar
|
takes a beating without making a sound
|
through swollen eyes he sways and smiles
|
'cause noone can put him down
|
inside of him a boy looks up to his father
|
for a sign or an approving eye
|
oh, it's funny how those once so close and now gone
|
can still so affect our lives
|
|
Chorus
|
|
Take me now, hold me close
|
don't let go, I'm coming home
|
|
Chorus
