Mwali wa mafu (Version 2)

Verse

Bare feet on the dust, I feel it rise

Warmth in my chest like a burning surprise

Every drumbeat pulls me out of time

I lose myself and I find this rhyme

Pre-Chorus

Something's taking hold deep down inside

I let go of every step that won't glide

Can you feel the fire starting to climb?

Chorus

Mwali wa mafu, we are one now

Mwali wa mafu, burning somehow

Hands up high and we don't come down

In the heat where love has turned around

Verse 2

Your eyes catch mine like a spark in flight

We move as one with every single light

No more names or walls between us stand

Just this drumbeat leading us to higher ground

Pre-Chorus

Something's taking hold deep down inside

I let go of every step that won't glide

Can you feel the fire starting to climb?

Chorus

Mwali wa mafu, we are one now

Mwali wa mafu, burning somehow

Hands up high and we don't come down

In the heat where love has turned around

Bridge

Not your name, not mine

Just this pulse of skin to skin

No more past or tomorrow's night

We burn like a single flame in light

Chorus

Mwali wa mafu, we are one now

Mwali wa mafu, burning somehow

Hands up high and we don't come down

In the heat where love has turned around
