Sunrise Over Soweto (Version 2) lyrics
Verse
Dust on my shoes, the taxi lights fade
Last cup of smoke where the dancers all stayed
Concrete still warm from a thousand feet
Copper sky rising over the street
Pre-Chorus
Hold on, hold on, the night let go
Feel it climbing soft and slow
Hands up, hands up, one more time
Watch the dark turn into shine
Chorus
Sunrise over Soweto
Gold light on the rooftops glow
Feet still moving, heart still low
Sunrise over Soweto
Verse
Speakers hum where the silence used to be
Tin roofs catch the first ray on the tree
Somebody's laughing by the corner store
Body's tired but the soul wants more
Pre-Chorus
Hold on, hold on, the night let go
Feel it climbing soft and slow
Hands up, hands up, one more time
Watch the dark turn into shine
Chorus
Sunrise over Soweto
Gold light on the rooftops glow
Feet still moving, heart still low
Sunrise over Soweto
Bridge
No more shadows, no more chasing time
We were dancing till the sun arrived
Every step led straight to this
Morning breaking like a kiss
Chorus
Sunrise over Soweto
Gold light on the rooftops glow
Feet still moving, heart still low
Sunrise over Soweto
Outro
Sunrise, sunrise
Gold light calling us outside
Sunrise over Soweto
