Lyrics
Tumaiguini
Lukao fuha
I don't have a rock to go to
And I've barely come to know you
Oh creators
Is there room upon your spaceship
With air so clean I can taste it
I'd be down for peacing out
Whenever you come liberate us
Oh saina
Look at all this mess
Hu nanannga hao, my hands are sore from
Beating on my chest
Oh this whole world
Is filled with sorrow
But if we give back what you made us
Did we ever really borrow
Thirteen moons will cross behind us
While our future tries to find us
We may never know what we need
But here we are now, Tumaiguini
Oh iyo-ku
Drop the blindfold
We burnt the candle
Till the glass that held it
Shattered in the cold
Though the winter
Is warm as welcome
Your beliefs were only helpful
For as long as you had held them
Oh my baby
What's it come to
A stranger angel in my eyes
I couldn't turn back if I wanted to
I'll make space for
Your worst behavior
If you make space for mine
'Cause you're my favorite waste of time
Thirteen moons will cross behind us
While my future tries to find us
Parents asking what's the hold up
Maybe next year I'll feel older
We may never know what we need
But here we are now, Tumaiguini
Tumaiguini, what am I scared of
Oh the monotone of daily life
Is worse than I remember
I've got my nose plugged
While all the days blur
But if I came up for air
Would the world still hold me under
Thirteen moons will cross behind us
While my future tries to find us
Parents asking what's the hold up
Maybe next year I'll feel older
With a grateful gesture overdue
And all this living to look forward to
We may never know what we need
But here we are now, Tumaiguini
