Chorus
|
Here we stand waiting on the plain
|
Darkness has taken the last outpost of the day
|
Somewhere gunships hunt their illusive prey
|
And I know inside you feel the same way
|
|
The sky in your heart is so grey
|
And the jackals howl inside
|
I see you walking with your head down
|
Tomorrow is always betrayed
|
By too much hope displayed
|
So you take it as it comes now
|
Ngempilo yami yonke
|
(With all my life)
|
I'm waiting, I'm waiting
|
|
Chorus
|
Here we stand waiting on the plain
|
Darkness has taken the last outpost of the day
|
Somewhere gunships hunt their illusive prey
|
And I know inside you feel the same way
|
Ngempilo yami yonke
|
(With all my life)
|
Kudala ngilindele
|
(So long I've been waiting)
|
|
You've learned to live inside the space
|
That connects each link of chain
|
And you say you've got some peace of mind now
|
But I know you're waiting all the same
|
With an ache that has no name
|
When you feel the fresh breath of the invisible wind
|
Ngempilo yami yonke
|
(With all my life)
|
Waiting, I'm waiting
|
|
I will undo these chains
|
Ngizowakhumula amakhethanga
|
(I will undo these chains)
|
|
