The Crossing

Through all the days that eat away That every breath that I take Through all the nights I have laid alone In someone else's dream, awake All the words in truth we have spoken That the wind has blown away Oh it's only you that remains with me Clear as the light of day O Siyeza, o siyeza, sizofika webaba noma O siyeza, o siyeza, siyagudla lomhlaba Siyawela lapheshaya kulezontaba ezimnyama Lapha sobheka phansi konke ukhulupheka A punch drunk man in a downtown bar Takes a beating without making a sound Through swollen eye,s he sways and smiles 'Cause no one can put him down Inside of him a boy looks up to his father For a sign or an approving eye Oh, it's funny how those once so close are now gone Still so affect our lives O Siyeza, o siyeza, sizofika webaba noma (oh I'm coming, are you coming?) (You know the tide is turning) O siyeza, o siyeza, siyagudla lomhlaba (you know the tide is turning) (Make my cross say) Siyawela lapheshaya kulezontaba ezimnyama (over this dark land) Gonna touch your face Lapha sobheka phansi konke ukhulupheka (gonna lay me down in your grace) Take me now, don't let go Hold me close, I'm coming home O Siyeza, o siyeza, sizofika webaba noma (oh I'm coming, are we coming?) (You know the tide is turning) O siyeza, o siyeza, siyagudla lomhlaba (you know the tide is turning) (Make my cross say) Siyawela lapheshaya kulezontaba ezimnyama (over this dark land) Gonna touch your face Lapha sobheka phansi konke ukhulupheka (gonna lay me down in your grace) O Siyeza, o siyeza, sizofika webaba noma (oh I'm coming, are you coming?) (You know the tide is turning) O siyeza, o siyeza, siyagudla lomhlaba (you know the tide is turning) (Make my cross say) Siyawela lapheshaya kulezontaba ezimnyama (over this dark land) Gonna touch your face Lapha sobheka phansi konke ukhulupheka (gonna lay me down in your grace) O Siyeza, o siyeza, sizofika webaba noma O siyeza, o siyeza, siyagudla lomhlaba Siyawela lapheshaya kulezontaba ezimnyama Lapha sobheka phansi konke ukhulupheka
