Lyrics Utshani Obulele - Johnny Clegg, Soweto Gospel Choir

Utshani Obulele

Utshani Obulele Buvuswa Wumlilo
The dry dead grass is made young and green by fire
I’ve come to this place
Where you stole my innocence
I was young then
But I’m older now
Do you remember my face?
Do you recall this place?
Because I remember you
And the things that you do
Some need to feel pain
To learn the game
To feel the fire
And be born again
Here I am now
The night has begun
This is me now, waiting for the sun
I’m still standing
Made it thru' this fire
I was weaker then
But I’m stronger now
Ngizovuka-Nje Mina
I will be re-awakened and reborn
Lessons in love
Lessons in pain
I was weaker then
But i’m stronger now
Do you remember my face
Do you recall this place
Because I remember you
And the things that you do
Some need to feel pain
To learn the game
To feel the fire
And be born again
Here I am now
The night has begun
This is me now, waiting for the sun
I’m still standing
Made it thru' this fire
I was weaker then
But I’m stronger now
