Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Through all the days that eat away
At every breath that I take
Through all the nights I have lain alone
In someone else's dream awake
All the words and the truth that were spoken
That the wind has blown away
Oh, it's only you that remains with me
Clear as the light of day
[Verse 2]
Oh siyeza, oh siyeza
Sizofika webaba noma
Oh siyeza, oh siyeza
Siyagudla lomhlaba
Siyawela lapheshaya
Kulezontaba 'zimnyama
Lapha sobeka phansi
Konke uk'hlupheka
[Verse 3]
A punch-drunk man in a downtown bar
Takes a beating without making a sound
Through swollen eyes, he sways and he smiles
'Cause no one can put him down
Inside of him a boy looks up to his father
For a sign or an approvin' eye
Oh, it's funny how those once so close and now gone
Still so affect our lives
[Verse 4]
Oh siyeza (Oh I'm comin')
Oh siyeza (I'll be comin')
Sizofika webaba noma (You know the tide is turnin')
Oh siyeza, oh siyeza (You know the tide is turnin')
Siyagudla lomhlaba (Make my crossin')
Siyawela lapheshaya (Over this dark land)
Kulezontaba 'zimnyama (Gonna touch your face)
Lapha sobeka phansi (Gonna lay me down)
Konke uk'hlupheka (In your grace)
[Verse 5]
Take me now
Don't let go
Hold me close
I'm comin' home
[Verse 6]
Oh siyeza (Oh I'm comin')
Oh siyeza (I'll be comin')
Sizofika webaba noma (You know the tide is turnin')
Oh siyeza, oh siyeza (I'm tellin' you the tide is turnin')
Siyagudla lomhlaba (Gonna make this crossin')
Siyawela lapheshaya (Over this dark land)
Kulezontaba 'zimnyama (Gonna touch your face)
Lapha sobeka phansi (Gonna lay me down)
Konke uk'hlupheka (In that great feel of your grace)
[Verse 7]
Oh siyeza (Oh I'm comin')
Oh siyeza (I'll be comin')
Sizofika webaba noma (Oh I'm comin', oh I'm comin')
Oh siyeza, oh siyeza (Oh I'm comin', gonna lay me down)
Siyagudla lomhlaba
Siyawela lapheshaya (I'm gonna make this crossin', over this dark land)
Kulezontaba 'zimnyama (I'm gonna touch your face)
Lapha sobeka phansi (I'm gonna lay me down)
Konke uk'hlupheka (In that great feel of your grace)
[Verse 8]
Oh siyeza, oh siyeza
Sizofika webaba noma
Oh siyeza, oh siyeza
Siyagudla lomhlaba
Siyawela lapheshaya
Kulezontaba 'zimnyama
Lapha sobeka phansi
