The Crossing (Osiyeza) - Lyrics by Clegg Johnny


Lyrics
(for Dudu)
Through all the days that eat awayat every breath that I takethrough all the nights I've lain alonein someone else's dream, awakeall the words in truth we have spokenthat the wind has blown awayit's only you that remains with meclear as the light of day
Chorus: O Siyeza, o siyeza , sizofika webaba noma(we are coming, we are coming, we will arrive soon)O siyeza, o siyeza, siyagudle lomhlaba(we are coming, we are coming, we are moving across this earth)
Siyawela lapheshaya lulezontaba ezimnyama(we are crossing over those dark mountains)
Lapha sobheka phansi konke ukhulupheka(where we will lay down our troubles)A punch drunk man in a downtown bartakes a beating without making a soundthrough swollen eyes he sways and smiles'cause noone can put him downinside of him a boy looks up to his fatherfor a sign or an approving eyeoh, it's funny how those once so close and now gonecan still so affect our lives
Chorus
Take me now, hold me closedon't let go, I'm coming home
Chorus
