Lyrics

Listen for the train.
It’s driving promises back to life
Transporting our hopes from the past to the present
Ripe with opportunity so near, it feels like it’s almost in hand
But these distances, they’re so far, they don’t make any sense
I think maybe this train is running late
I start to panic
 
Stimela!
Uyeza?
Ukupi?
Thina sijahile!
 
Stimela mam
How’re we gonna get
Thina sijahile
How we gonna get….
Where we need to go?
 
Stimela mam
Stimela mam
How we gonna get
Thina sijahile
How we gonna get….where we need to go?
Stimela mam
How we gonna get
Stimela mam
 
I been waiting for so long
Waiting for a train to come
Can someone please tell me why we're too late?
Time is moving on so speed up, speed up!
 
Stimela mam
Thina sijahile
Stimela mam
 
Isitimela/Stimela mam
Goes coochoo coochoo thina sijahile
Stimela mam
See here Soweto
 
There are people running everywhere
All I see is just some smoke
Will we ever reach our destiny?
Someone tell me what is wrong
 
Stimela mam
How’re we gonna get
Thina sijahile
Stimela mam
How we gonna get….where we need to go?
Stimela mam
How we gonna get
Thina sijahile
Stimela mam
Stimela mam
 
Still waiting for that train, driving promises back to life
Our hopes from the past, they’ve been freight forward to the future
Opportunity slipping away with these distances so far they don’t make any sense
 
My heart is beating
Stimela mam
Anger is swelling
Thina sijahile
This train, maybe it isn’t coming
Stimela mam
I start to panic
 
Stimela mam
Stimela, uyeza?
Thina sijahile
Stimela mam
Ukupi?
How we gonna get where we need to go?
