johnny clegg – africa rising lyrics
[verse 1]
keep this for protection
deep in your heart
it’s the kalahari blowing
under a southern star
there’s a new day coming
i feel it in my bones
africa rising
from blood on the stones
i feel the wind in my sails
i know i can fly
i’m going to break these chains
under a blood red sky
[chorus]
i said “hey la”
i said “helele”
i said “hey la”
i said “hala”
(isoka lapha wena ukhatizwe)
[verse 2]
good young people
born to bad times
where the prophjets have failed
and the river runs dry
there’s a new day coming
across the divide
africa rising
against yesterday’s tide
i see the young are strong
and their dreams are proud
their hearts are on fire
where silence once stood
[chorus]
i said “hey la”
i said “helele”
i said “hey la”
i said “hala”
suka lapha wena weqath’izwe
baleka wena weqath’izwe
suka lapha wena weqath’izwe
baleka wena weqath’izwe
sesikhatele
[verse 3]
african moon
keep on rising
shine on to the sea of j-pan
millions in the darkness waiting
from kowloon to amsterdam
very soon i must be leaving
i hear your mother call my name
p-ssing through the midnight hour
i feel no pain
[chorus]
i said “hey la”
i said “helele”
i said “hey la”
i said “hala”
