Zazi-Knowledge of self-unleashes potential
Look in the mirror, tell me, what do you see?
A soul once broken, yearning to be free.
Reflections of pain, fear loud and clear,
But there's power in you, greater than the fear.
Unaware of the fate you hold inside,
Though for a moment, your life did slide.
I know it wasn’t part of the plan,
But even the strongest must sometimes stand,
As they always said, “Leboela ha le ngallwe”
Zazi! Know yourself, they said with pride,
I lost the vision, wandered far and wide.
Before the world turned cold and mean,
And I lost pieces of me in the wind, unseen.
Zazi! Itsebe! Ngazi mina!
For within me, strength begins to grow,
Beneath the tears, the pain, the glow,
A warrior’s soul waits, waiting for me,
To unleash the truth, the real me, finally free!
Itsebe o mang!
Knowledge of self, power within,
It’s the fire that burns, the courage to win.
Seipone sa khanya, the mirror of light,
What’s broken is whole, I reclaim my might.
Kwanele manje! Enough! I rise!
The past cannot bind me, I claim the skies.
From the ashes of yesterday, I am reborn,
Like a phoenix, I rise with the dawn.
Through every storm, I shall prevail,
The winds of doubt can never derail.
For now, I know, ke ’nna ’nna!
In this body of flesh, a lion’s heart runs.
I hope one day, you’ll clearly see,
This journey was meant to be.
Not for the weak, but a discovery true,
A battle, a victory—it’s always you vs you!
I’m proud of you.
