I was born inside the rain on a day of wonder
Deep inside my brain memories of thunder I grew up a refugee, my life not fixed or free I know the world’s not to blame ’Cos everybody carries my name Chorus: Oooh! These are my Fathers’ people - (Hawu Ngitshele! Ngitshele! - tell me! tell me!) Oooh! This is where the Human tree once grew Oooh! We are the children of a new world Oooh! We have a new dream pushing through The sky is black with gunships, but I’m dreaming of a girl In her eyes love and friendship, but will she understand my world? Now I’m like a windswept sea, fear and hope washing over me Will she think my world is cruel, when I share my point of view? CHORUS Oh - It’s a strange world - hawu ngitshele! Ngitshele ! yeah! Oh... It’s a caged bird - yeah! Oh... gimme what you say... yeah! Oh... gimme a brand new day... yeah! CHORUS |
