25 years and my life is still
– 25 years i’ve been okay
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
– Zama ukuphakamisa le nduli inkulu yethemba
For a destination
– Indawo ekusingwa kuyo
I realized quickly when I knew I should
– Ndakhawuleza ndabona ukuba ndimele
That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man
– Ukuba ihlabathi libunjwe obu buzalwana bomntu
For whatever that means
– Nokuba kuthetha ntoni oko
And so I cry sometimes
– Ngamanye amaxesha ndiyakhala
When I’m lying in bed just to get it all out
– Xa ndilala embhedeni ukuze ndikhuphe konke
What’s in my head
– Yintoni entlokweni yam
And I, I am feeling a little peculiar
– Kwaye mna, ndiziva ndingaqhelekanga
And so I wake in the morning
– Kwaye ke ndivuka kusasa
And I step outside
– Kwaye ndaya ngaphandle
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
– Kwaye ndithatha umoya onzulu kwaye ndifumana phezulu
And I scream from the top of my lungs
– Kwaye ndiyakhala ukusuka phezulu kwemiphunga yam
What’s going on?
– Kuqhubeka ntoni?
And I say, hey yeah yeah-eh-eh, hey yeah yeah
– I’m saying, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I said hey, what’s going on?
– Ndathi, hey, kwenzeka ntoni?
And I say, hey yeah yeah-eh-eh, hey yeah yeah
– I’m saying, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I said hey, what’s going on?
– Ndathi, hey, kwenzeka ntoni?
Ooh, ooh ooh, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
– Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh ooh, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
– Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh ooh, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
– Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh ooh, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
– Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
And I try, oh my god do I try!
– Kwaye ndiyazama, owu thixo wam, ndiyazama!
I try all the time, in this institution
– Ndizama ngalo lonke ixesha, kweli ziko
And I pray, oh my god do I pray!
– Kwaye ndiyathandaza, owu thixo wam!
I pray every single day
– Yonk ‘ imihla siyathandaza
For revolution
– Ukuze revolution
And so I cry sometimes
– Ngamanye amaxesha ndiyakhala
When I’m lying in bed just to get it all out
– Xa ndilala embhedeni ukuze ndikhuphe konke
What’s in my head
