Lyrics
I’m limited
– Nginomkhawulo
Just look at me
– Ngibheke nje
I’m limited
– Nginomkhawulo
And just look at you, you can do all I couldn’t do
– Futhi ngikubheke nje, ungenza konke engingakwazi ukukwenza
Glinda
– Uglinda
So now it’s up to you
– Ngakho manje sekukuwe
For both of us
– Kithina sobabili
Now it’s up to you
– Manje sekukuwe
I’ve heard it said
– Ngikuzwile kusho
That people come into our lives
– Ukuthi abantu bangena ekuphileni kwethu
For a reason
– Ngesizathu
Bringing something we must learn
– Ukuletha okuthile okumelwe sikufunde
And we are led
– Futhi siholwa
To those who help us most to grow
– Kulabo abasisiza kakhulu ukuba sikhule
If we let them
– Uma sibavumela
And we help them in return
– Futhi siyabasiza ngokubuyisela
Well, I don’t know if I believe that’s true
– Angazi ukuthi ngiyakholelwa yini ukuthi lokho kuyiqiniso
But I know I’m who I am today
– Kodwa ngiyazi ukuthi ngingubani namuhla
Because I knew you
– Ngoba ngangikwazi
Like a comet pulled from orbit
– Njengenkanyezi enomsila edonswa emzileni
As it passes a sun
– Njengoba idlula ilanga
Like a stream that meets a boulder
– Njengomfudlana ohlangana nedwala
Halfway through the wood
– Phakathi nehlathi
Who can say if I’ve been changed for the better?
– Ubani ongasho ukuthi uma ngishintshiwe ngaba ngcono?
But because I knew you
– Kodwa ngoba ngangikwazi
I have been changed for good
– Ngishintshiwe unomphela
It well may be
– Kungase kube
That we will never meet again
– Ukuthi ngeke siphinde sihlangane
In this lifetime
– Kulesi sikhathi sokuphila
So let me say before we part
– Ngakho ake ngithi ngaphambi kokuba sihlukane
So much of me
– Okuningi kimi
Is made of what I learned from you
– Yenziwe ngalokho engikufunde kuwe
You’ll be with me
– Uzoba nami
Like a handprint on my heart
– Njengophawu lwesandla enhliziyweni yami
And now whatever way our stories end
– Futhi manje kungakhathaliseki ukuthi izindaba zethu ziphela ngaziphi izindlela
I know you have re-written mine
– Ngiyazi ukuthi ubhale kabusha okwami
By being my friend
– Ngokuba umngane wami
Like a ship blown from its mooring
– Njengomkhumbi oshaywe umoya usuka endaweni yawo yokumisa
By a wind off the sea
– Ngomoya ovela olwandle
Like a seed dropped by a skybird
– Njengembewu elahlwa yinyoni yasemkhathini
In a distant wood
– Ehlathini elikude
Who can say if I’ve been changed for the better?
– Ubani ongasho ukuthi uma ngishintshiwe ngaba ngcono?
But because I knew you
– Kodwa ngoba ngangikwazi
Because I knew you
– Ngoba ngangikwazi
I have been changed for good
– Ngishintshiwe unomphela
And just to clear the air, I ask forgiveness
– Futhi ukuze nje ngisuse umoya, ngicela intethelelo
For the things I’ve done you blame me for
– Ngenxa yezinto engizenzile ungisola ngazo
But then, I guess we know there’s blame to share
– Kodwa-ke, ngicabanga ukuthi siyazi ukuthi kunesizathu sokwabelana
And none of it seems to matter anymore
– Futhi akukho kulokhu okubonakala kunendaba
Like a comet pulled from orbit (Like a ship blown from its mooring)
– Njengenkanyezi enomsila edonswa emzileni (njengomkhumbi odonswa endaweni yawo yokumisa)
As it passes a sun (By a wind off the sea)
– Njengoba idlula ilanga (Ngomoya ovela olwandle)
Like a stream that meets a boulder (Like a seed dropped by a bird)
– Njengomfudlana ohlangana nedwala (njengembewu elahlwa yinyoni)
Halfway through the wood (In the wood
– Phakathi nehlathi (ehlathini
Who can say if I’ve been changed for the better?
– Ubani ongasho ukuthi uma ngishintshiwe ngaba ngcono?
I do believe I have been changed for the better
– Ngikholelwa ukuthi ngishintshiwe ngaba ngcono
And because I knew you
– Futhi ngoba ngangikwazi
Because I knew you
– Ngoba ngangikwazi
Because I knew you
– Ngoba ngangikwazi
I have been changed
– Ngishintshiwe
For good
– Okuhle
