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)
