Johnny Clegg & Savuka - When The System Has Fallen Lyrics
Sweat in the heat for days on endWaiting for you to come againTo hear the words spill from your lipsThe system has fallenMass action on the radioLike a great river ebbs and flowsCarrying us to the final closeWhen the system has fallenI know that you are tired and wearySeen too much to believe any moreBut we have to keep moving down that long roadIf we want to reach that far shore.Chorus:Were on our way home to find our freedomAnd Im on my way home to find you my friendWhere we can stand in the light of the peopleAnd breathe life into the land again.Siyathemba, siyathemba kuwena nkosiSizo fika ema khaya[we are still hoping and we still believeWe wil reach our final destination]Hey! you! if you dance in the shadowsThe shadows will cover youAnd paralyse all the hope in your eyesThat youll need to bring you shining throughCould you believe that I am your brother?Could you believe that I am your friend?And although I dont speak the language you speakWe could be closer than you have ever dreamt.Chorus....Ngizobeka phansi uku zondana kwami[i will put down my hatred]Ngizobeka phansi izenzo zegazi[i will lay down my acts of revenge]Ngizoxolelana nezitha zami wemadoda[i will forgive my enemies]Sizofika emakhaya[and will reach our homes]Im on my way, on my way, on my wayTo find you my friend.
