The 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 |
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) |
