One day I looked up

And there you were

Like a simple question

Looking for an answer

Now I am a whale

Listening to some inner call

Swimmin' blindly

To throw myself upon your shore

What if I don't find you

When I have landed?

Would you leave me here to die

On your shore stranded?

I think I know why the dog howls at the moon

I think I know why the dog howls at the moon

I say, "Dela, dela ngyanya dela"

When I'm with you

Dela, sondela mama sondela

I burn for you

I've been waiting for you all my life

Hoping for a miracle

I've been waitin' day and night

Day and night

I've been waiting for you all my life

Waiting for redemption

I've been waitin' day and night

I burn for you

A blind bird sings

Inside the cage that is my heart

The image of your face comes to me

When I'm alone in the dark

If I could give a shape

To this ache that I have for you

If I could find the voice

That says the words that capture you

I think I know, I think I know

I think I know, I think I know

I think I know why the dog howls at the moon

I think I know why the dog howls at the moon

I say, "Dela, dela ngyanya dela"

When I'm with you

Dela, sondela mama sondela

I burn for you

I've been waiting for you all my life

Hoping for a miracle

I've been waitin' day and night

Day and night

I've been waiting for you all my life

Waiting for redemption

I've been waitin' day and night

I burn for you

Sondela, sondela, mama sondela

I burn for you

I've been waiting for you all my life

Hoping for a miracle

I've been waitin' day and night

Day and night

I've been waiting for you all my life

Waitin' for redemption

I've been waitin' day and night

I burn for you

Burn for you

I burn for you

Burn for you

I burn for you

Burn for you

I burn for you

Burn for you

I burn for you

Burn for you

I burn for you

Burn for you

I burn for you
