Lyrics
25 years and my life is still
– Iminyaka engu-25 futhi ukuphila kwami kusalokhu
Tryin’ to get up that great big hill of hope
– Ukuzama ukuvuka kulelo gquma elikhulu lethemba
For a destination
– Ukuze uthole indawo
I realized quickly when I knew I should
– Ngaqaphela ngokushesha lapho ngazi ukuthi kufanele
That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man
– Ukuthi izwe lakhiwa yilobuzalwane bomuntu
For whatever that means
– Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi lokho kusho ukuthini
And so I cry sometimes when I’m lying in bed
– Ngakho ngezinye izikhathi ngiyakhala lapho ngilele embhedeni
Just to get it all out what’s in my head
– Ukuze nje ngikhiphe konke lokho okusekhanda lami
And I, I am feeling a little peculiar
– Futhi mina, ngizizwa ngingajwayelekile
And so I wake in the morning and I step outside
– Ngakho ngivuka ekuseni bese ngiphuma
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
– Futhi ngithatha umoya ojulile futhi ngithola umoya ophakeme ngempela
And I scream from the top of my lungs
– Futhi ngimemeza ngisuka phezulu emaphashini ami
“What’s going on?”
– “Kwenzekani?”
And I say, hey-ey-ey
– Futhi ngithi, hey-ey-ey
Hey-ey-ey
– Sawubona-ey-ey
I said “Hey, a-what’s going on?”
– Ngathi ” A, kwenzekani?”
And I say, hey-ey-ey
– Futhi ngithi, hey-ey-ey
Hey-ey-ey
– Sawubona-ey-ey
I said “Hey, a-what’s going on?”
– Ngathi ” A, kwenzekani?”
Ooh, ooh
– Ooh, ooh
Ooh
– Ooh
Ooh, uh huh
– Ooh, uh huh
Ooh, ooh
– Ooh, ooh
Ooh
– Ooh
Ooh, uh huh
– Ooh, uh huh
And I try
– Futhi ngizama
Oh my God, do I try
– O Nkulunkulu wami, ingabe ngizama
I try all the time
– Ngizama ngaso sonke isikhathi
In this institution
– Kulesi sikhungo
And I pray
– Futhi ngiyathandaza
Oh my God, do I pray
– O Nkulunkulu wami, ingabe ngiyathandaza
I pray every single day
– Ngithandaza nsuku zonke
For revolution
– Ukuze kube nenguquko
And so I cry sometimes when I’m lying in bed
– Ngakho ngezinye izikhathi ngiyakhala lapho ngilele embhedeni
Just to get it all out, what’s in my head
– Ukuze nje ngikhiphe konke, yini engqondweni yami
And I, I am feeling a little peculiar
– Futhi mina, ngizizwa ngingajwayelekile
And so I wake in the morning and I step outside
– Ngakho ngivuka ekuseni bese ngiphuma
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
– Futhi ngithatha umoya ojulile futhi ngithola umoya ophakeme ngempela
And I scream from the top of my lungs
– Futhi ngimemeza ngisuka phezulu emaphashini ami
“What’s going on?”

And I say, hey-ey-ey
– Futhi ngithi, hey-ey-ey
Hey-ey-ey

I said “Hey, what’s going on?”
– Ngathi ” hheyi, kwenzekani?”
And I say, hey-ey-ey
– Futhi ngithi, hey-ey-ey
Hey-ey-ey
– Sawubona-ey-ey
I said “Hey, a-what’s going on?”

For a destination, mmm
