The Crossing (Osiyeza)

Through all the days that eat away At every breath that I take Through all the nights I have lain alone In someone else's dream, awake All the words in truth that we've 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, siyagudle lomhlaba Siyawela lapheshaya lulezontaba ezimnyama Lapha sobheka phansi konke ukhulupheka A punch drunk man in a downtown bar Takes a beating without making a sound Through swollen eyes, he sways and he smiles 'Cause no one can put him down Inside him, a boy looks up to his father For a sign or an approving eye Oh, it's funny how those once so close and now gone Still so affect our lives O siyeza (oh I'm comin') o siyeza (I'll be comin') sizofika webaba noma (You know the tide is turnin') O siyeza, o siyeza (you know the tide is turnin') siyagudle lomhlaba (Make my crossin') Siyawela lapheshaya (over the stark land) lulezontaba ezimnyama (I'm gonna touch your face) Lapha sobheka phansi (gonna lay me down) Konke ukhulupheka (in your prayers) Take me now, don't let go Hold me close, I'm coming home O siyeza (oh I'm comin') o siyeza (oh I'm comin')) sizofika webaba noma (You know the tide is turnin') O siyeza, o siyeza (I'm tellin' you the tide is turnin') siyagudle lomhlaba (Gonna make this crossin') Siyawela lapheshaya (over the stark land) lulezontaba ezimnyama (I'm gonna touch your face) Lapha sobheka phansi (gonna lay me down) Konke ukhulupheka (in that green field of prayer) O siyeza (oh I'm comin') o siyeza (oh I'm comin') Sizofika (oh I'm comin') webaba noma (oh I'm comin') O siyeza (oh I'm comin') o siyeza (gonna lay me down) Siyagudle lomhlaba Siyawela (gonna make my crossin') lapheshaya (over the stark land) Lulezontaba ezimnyama (I'm gonna touch your face) Lapha sobheka phansi (I'm gonna lay me down) Konke ukhulupheka (in your green fields of prayer) O siyeza, o siyeza, sizofika webaba noma O siyeza, o siyeza, siyagudle lomhlaba Siyawela lapheshaya lulezontaba ezimnyama Lapha sobheka phansi...
