Setting my sights from above

Go fikelela marung, 

Oikemisetsa tsa godimo.
To reach the clouds, 
set your sights above.

Go tswa mo go se tsebego, 

o tsoma ditsela tse mpsha,    
Step from the dark to find new paths,
O rotogela godimo, 

o koba mellwane, 

o dula gare mellwane.    
And rise, 
rewriting limits, 
Living on the edge.

Amogela bophelo ka mo go lego ka gona.    
Embrace existence exactly as it is
Ke tsoma tseo di sa tsebehego, 

ke kgotsofetse tseo di tsebegego.    
I chase the mysteries,
