The Crossing

Through all the days that eat away

That every breath that I take

Through all the nights I've lain alone

In someone else's dream, awake

All the words in truth we have spoken

That the wind has blown away

Oh, it's only you that remains with me

Clear as the light of day

Oh siyeza, oh siyeza

Sizofika webaba noma

Oh siyeza, oh siyeza

Siyagudla lomhlaba

Siyawela ngaphesheya

Kulezontaba zimnyama

Lapho sobeka phansi

Konk'ukuhlupheka

A punch drunk man in a downtown bar

Takes a beating without making a sound

Through swollen eyes he sways and smiles

'Cause no one can put him down

Inside of him, a boy looks up to his father

For a sign or an approving eye

Oh, it's funny how those once so close and now gone

Still so affect our lives

Oh siyeza, oh siyeza

(Oh, I'm coming, are we coming?)

Sizofika webaba noma

(You know the tide is turning)

Oh siyeza, oh siyeza

(You know the tide is turning)

Siyagudla lomhlaba

(Make my crossing)

Siyawela ngaphesheya

(Over this dark land)

Kulezontaba zimnyama

(Gonna touch your face)

Lapho sobeka phansi

(Gonna lay me down, oh, in your grace)

Konk'ukuhlupheka

Take me now, don't let go

Hold me close, I'm coming home

Oh siyeza, oh siyeza

(Oh, I'm coming, are we coming?)

Sizofika webaba noma

(You know the tide is turning)

Oh siyeza, oh siyeza

(You know the tide is turning)

Siyagudla lomhlaba

(Make my crossing)

Siyawela ngaphesheya

(Over this dark land)

Kulezontaba zimnyama

(Gonna touch your face)

Lapho sobeka phansi

(Gonna let me down in your grace)

Konk'ukuhlupheka

Oh siyeza, oh siyeza

(Oh, I'm coming, I'm coming)

Sizofika webaba noma

(You know the tide is turning)

Oh siyeza, oh siyeza

(You know the tide is turning)

Siyagudla lomhlaba

(Make my crossing)

Siyawela ngaphesheya

(Over this dark land)

Kulezontaba zimnyama

(Gonna touch your face)

Lapho sobeka phansi

(Gonna let me down in your grace)

Konk'ukuhlupheka

Oh siyeza, oh siyeza

Sizofika webaba noma

Oh siyeza, oh siyeza

Siyagudla lomhlaba

Siyawela ngaphesheya

Kulezontaba zimnyama

Lapho sobeka phansi

Konke ukuhlupheka
