LOMHLABA UNZIMA, LOMHLABA
|
[this world is a harsh place, this world]
|
|
Picture the end of a cycle
|
here's the fire from heaven
|
There's a tired planeet closing down
|
no more news at eleven
|
somewhere the last of a species has died
|
somewhere a child is born
|
when I hold you, I tremble inside
|
can we ride out the storm?
|
Are you tough enough -- can you take the strain?
|
Are you tough enough -- to walk in the burning rain
|
Are you tough enough -- can you take the change?
|
Are you tough enough -- baby just say!
|
|
Chorus:
|
Into the heart of the human dream
|
into a strange new world
|
remember me under the Tree of Man
|
where I first heard your words
|
gonna make it through, I can feel it
|
|
What we need is a miracle
|
what we need is some time
|
what we need is an angel of Mercy
|
in this life
|
|
Are you tough enough -- can you take the heat?
|
Are you tough enough -- to walk in the burning street
|
Are you tough enough -- can you take the change
|
Are you tough enough -- baby just say!
|
|
Chorus...
|
|
There's your mama and your papa
|
waving good-bye in the cold moonlight
|
in their eyes the confusion of a world gone by
|
and you hold me tightly as we step out
|
into the morning light
|
and I know you are thinking that for something to be born
|
somthing has to die.
|
|
Chorus...
|
|
Vele vele we mama kunjalo
|
[It is true, it's obvious. Mama, it is just as you say].
