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].
