Johnny Clegg & Savuka - When The System Has Fallen Lyrics

Sweat in the heat for days on end Waiting for you to come again To hear the words spill from your lips "the system has fallen" Mass action on the radio Like a great river ebbs and flows Carrying us to the final close When the system has fallen I know that you are tired and weary Seen too much to believe any more But we have to keep moving down that long road If we want to reach that far shore. Chorus: We’re on our way home to find our freedom And I’m on my way home to find you my friend Where we can stand in the light of the people And breathe life into the land again. Siyathemba, siyathemba kuwena nkosi Sizo fika ema khaya [we are still hoping and we still believe We wil reach our final destination] Hey! you! if you dance in the shadows The shadows will cover you And paralyse all the hope in your eyes That you’ll need to bring you shining through Could you believe that I am your brother? Could you believe that I am your friend? And although I don’t speak the language you speak We could be closer than you have ever dreamt. Chorus.... Ngizobeka phansi uku zondana kwami [i will put down my hatred] Ngizobeka phansi izenzo zegazi [i will lay down my acts of revenge] Ngizoxolelana nezitha zami wemadoda [i will forgive my enemies] Sizofika emakhaya [and will reach our homes] I’m on my way, on my way, on my way To find you my friend.
