The Waiting - Johnny Clegg & Savuka

Written by：Johnny Clegg

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

Waiting

Ngempilo yami yonke

Ngempilo yami yonke

I'm waiting

Ngempilo yami yonke

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

Ngempilo yami yonke

Kudala ngilindele

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

Kudala ngilindele

Waiting

Ngempilo yami yonke

Ngempilo yami yonke

I'm waiting

Ngempilo yami yonke

I will undo these chains

Ngizowakhumula amakhethanga

I will undo these chains

Ngizowakhumula amakhethanga

Undo these chains

Ngizowakhumula amakhethanga

Undo these chains

Ngizowakhumula amakhethanga

I will undo these chains

Ngizowakhumula amakhethanga

I will undo these chains

Ngizowakhumula amakhethanga

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

Waiting

Ngempilo yami yonke

I'm waiting

Ngempilo yami yonke

Ngempilo yami yonke

I'm waiting

Ngempilo yami yonke

Ngempilo yami yonke

Ngempilo yami yonke

Ngempilo yami yonke

I'm waiting

Ngempilo yami yonke

Ngempilo yami yonke

Waiting

Ngempilo yami yonke

Ngempilo yami yonke

I'm waiting

Ngempilo yami yonke

Ngempilo yami yonke

Waiting

I'm waiting

Waiting
