Utshani Obulele Buvuswa Wumlilo

The dry dead grass is made young and green by fire

I’ve come to this place

Where you stole my innocence

I was young then

But I’m older now

Do you remember my face?

Do you recall this place?

Because I remember you

And the things that you do

Some need to feel pain

To learn the game

To feel the fire

And be born again

Here I am now

The night has begun

This is me now, waiting for the sun

I’m still standing

Made it thru' this fire

I was weaker then

But I’m stronger now

Ngizovuka-Nje Mina

I will be re-awakened and reborn

Lessons in love

Lessons in pain

I was weaker then

But i’m stronger now

Do you remember my face

Do you recall this place

Because I remember you

And the things that you do

Some need to feel pain

To learn the game

To feel the fire

And be born again

Here I am now

The night has begun

This is me now, waiting for the sun

I’m still standing

Made it thru' this fire

I was weaker then

But I’m stronger now
