Gold on the wall, warm in my bones

Verse

Dust on my boots, tin roofs turn pink

Last drop of bass still fizzing in my drink

Corner boys selling coffee and light

Trading it slow for the tail of the night

Pre-Chorus

Hold up, hold up, don't let go now

Sky's catching fire, feel it glow now

Chorus

Sunrise over Soweto

Gold on the wall, warm in my bones

Sunrise over Soweto

Nobody leaves, nobody's alone

Verse

Speakers still humming on borrowed light

Aunties sweep dust where we danced all night

Taxi horns singing the six a.m. tune

Shadows stretch long where the night made room

Pre-Chorus

Hold up, hold up, don't let go now

Sky's catching fire, feel it glow now

Chorus

Sunrise over Soweto

Gold on the wall, warm in my bones

Sunrise over Soweto

Nobody leaves, nobody's alone

Bridge

Every rooftop turning amber

Every stranger feels like family

Kick drum fading into birdsong

This is where the night sets me free

Chorus

Sunrise over Soweto

Gold on the wall, warm in my bones

Sunrise over Soweto

Nobody leaves, nobody's alone
