Sunrise Over Soweto

Verse

Dust on my shoes, the taxi lights fade

Last cup of smoke where the dancers all stayed

Concrete still warm from a thousand feet

Copper sky rising over the street

Pre-Chorus

Hold on, hold on, the night let go

Feel it climbing soft and slow

Hands up, hands up, one more time

Watch the dark turn into shine

Chorus

Sunrise over Soweto

Gold light on the rooftops glow

Feet still moving, heart still low

Sunrise over Soweto

Verse

Speakers hum where the silence used to be

Tin roofs catch the first ray on the tree

Somebody's laughing by the corner store

Body's tired but the soul wants more

Pre-Chorus

Hold on, hold on, the night let go

Feel it climbing soft and slow

Hands up, hands up, one more time

Watch the dark turn into shine

Chorus

Sunrise over Soweto

Gold light on the rooftops glow

Feet still moving, heart still low

Sunrise over Soweto

Bridge

No more shadows, no more chasing time

We were dancing till the sun arrived

Every step led straight to this

Morning breaking like a kiss

Chorus

Sunrise over Soweto

Gold light on the rooftops glow

Feet still moving, heart still low

Sunrise over Soweto

Outro

Sunrise, sunrise

Gold light calling us outside

Sunrise over Soweto
