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
