Urban Child (Radio Edit)

Time has passed like the breeze

Breeze that blows through my heart

When I think about the Transkei seas

Urban rendition left for me

A sea of trouble that I wade everyday

Deep in the city

Twelve revolutions of the moon

It's a been year, it's been too long

Since I've seen your face and heard your song

Urban rendition left for me

Song of fire fills the air, we don't care

Deep in the city

Persevere, urban child

In your struggle, there lies hope

For the ones you left behind

Let their prayers carry you, although afraid, be resolute

They're all looking up to you

Bathembele ngawe

Take your place in the sun

You're the hope, you're the one

You can always come home

Here is where you belong

Take your place in the sun

You're the hope, you're the one

You can always come home

Here is where you belong

Where the city meets the night

I've heard so much, I've seen so much

I've seen people fight to stay alive

I think of you to hustle on

Think of you 'cause I know I don't belong

Here in the city

I came here to make you proud

I came here to see the sunrise

Over dreams and skyscrapers

I stay here to meet a need

I stay here to sow a seed for you

But I really need to hear your song

Persevere, urban child

In your struggle, there lies hope

For the ones you left behind

Let their prayers carry you, although afraid, be resolute

They're all looking up to you

Bathembele ngawe

Take your place in the sun

You're the hope, you're the one

You can always come home

Here is where you belong

Take your place in the sun

You're the hope, you're the one

You can always come home

Home is where you belong
