Lyrics

I walk
My feet mark my lineage on the ground beneath me
The soil becomes the protector of my name
Umhlaba
Earth, the place of my birth, open and vast
I travel to find pieces of meaning
Amanzi
The terrain cracks itself open, water gushes from within
The bones make their way to shore
The strength of my ancestors is known
Ilanga
The persevering sun that rises even on gloomy days
Spreads its light upon my path
Intaba
The mountains that bend into stories of home
Inyanga
The wise moon that marks every beginning I have known
Umlilo
The fire within
Umoya
The gift of the spirits I'm grateful
The world pieced into becoming my classroom
If you place a lesson, be constructive
Purpose, the will to continue what is it that matters, truly
Written by: Jill Streater, Matthew Benson, Nomfundo Khambule, Wabwire Shedrack
