AmaMhlophe (wersja 2)

Verse

Skin like the moon on a black body moving slow

The drum speaks low in the belly of my bones

Hands up to the stars through the smoke that climbs

Pre-Chorus

Feel it rising from the ashes and dust

Till we are one, till our hearts trust

Can you hear the heartbeat taking us higher?

Higher

Chorus

AmaMhlophe! Let go the old weight

Hold on to the rhythm before daybreak

Lift your eyes up where the embers turn gold

This is what freedom means when your soul finally finds its home

Verse

Sweat running down, but we don't feel no pain

Every step takes us closer to that higher place

The fire burns bright with a light that won't fade

We are the shadows dancing on the wall's wide shade

Pre-Chorus

Feel it rising from the ashes and dust

Till we are one, till our hearts trust

Can you hear the heartbeat taking us higher?

Higher

Chorus

AmaMhlophe! Let go the old weight

Hold on to the rhythm before daybreak

Lift your eyes up where the embers turn gold

This is what freedom means when your soul finally finds its home

Bridge

Not for tomorrow, not for yesterday

This is now, this is the one and only way

Every breath we take carries us higher still

Till our feet leave dust on the morning's gentle hill

Chorus

AmaMhlophe! Let go the old weight

Hold on to the rhythm before daybreak

Lift your eyes up where the embers turn gold

This is what freedom means when your soul finally finds its home
