Umlilo Wethu (Our Fire) (version 2)

Verse

Dust on the ground, drums in my chest

Bare feet moving, we ain't stopped to rest

Red sky fading, embers on the floor

Sipho on the beat, we came back for more

Pre-Chorus

Feel it rising, feel it climb

Hold this moment out of time

Hands up high, don't let it go

We stay till the sky starts to glow

Chorus

Umlilo wethu, burning through the night

We move, we move until the lights come up

Umlilo wethu, hearts still catching light

We move, we move until the lights come up

Verse

Circle tighter now, the drum won't quit

Sweat like rain down, we living in it

Thando's calling out, echo in the crowd

Every step we take, we say it loud

Pre-Chorus

Feel it rising, feel it climb

Hold this moment out of time

Hands up high, don't let it go

We stay till the sky starts to glow

Chorus

Umlilo wethu, burning through the night

We move, we move until the lights come up

Umlilo wethu, hearts still catching light

We move, we move until the lights come up

Bridge

No more shadows, no more walls

Just the fire when the morning calls

One more hour, one more round

Let the sunrise find us on this ground

Chorus

Umlilo wethu, burning through the night

We move, we move until the lights come up

Umlilo wethu, hearts still catching light

We move, we move until the lights come up

Outro

Umlilo wethu, till the lights come up

Umlilo wethu, till the lights come up
