Lyrics

[Verse 1] Through all the days that eat away At every breath that I take Through all the nights I've lain alone In someone else's dream, awake All the words in truth that we've spoken That the wind has blown away Oh, It's only you that remains with me Clear as the light of day [Chorus] O siyeza, o siyeza , sizofika webaba noma O siyeza, o siyeza, siyagudla lomhlaba Siyawela ngapheshaya kulezontaba ezimnyama Lapha sobheka phansi konke ukuhlupheka [Verse 2] A punch drunk man in a downtown bar Takes a beating without making a sound Through swollen eyes he sways and he smiles 'Cause no one can put him down Inside of him a boy looks up to his father For a sign or an approving eye Oh, it's funny how those once so close are now gone Still so affect our lives [Chorus] O siyeza, (o I'm coming), o siyeza (I'll be coming) Sizofika webaba noma. (You know the tide is turning) O siyeza, o siyeza, (You know the tide is turning) Siyagudla lomhlaba (midnight Crossing) Siyawela ngapheshaya (over this dark land) Kulezontaba ezimnyama (I'm gonna touch your face) Lapha sobeka phansi (gonna lay me down) Konke ukuhlupheka (in your grace) [Bridge] Take me now, don't let go Hold me close, I'm coming home [Chorus] O siyeza, (o I'm coming), o siyeza (O I'm coming) Sizofika webaba noma. (You know the tide is turning) O siyeza, o siyeza, (I'm telling you the tide is turning) Siyagudla lomhlaba (Gonna make this crossing) Siyawela ngapheshaya (over this dark land) Kulezontaba ezimnyama (I'm gonna touch your face) Lapha sobeka phansi (gonna lay me down) Konke ukuhlupheka (in that great field of grace) [Chorus] O siyeza, (O I'm coming), o siyeza (O I'm coming) Sizofika (O I'm coming) webaba noma. (O I'm coming) O siyeza, (O I'm coming) o siyeza, (gonna lay me down) Siyagudla lomhlaba Siyawela (Gonna make this crossing) Ngapheshaya (over this dark land) Kulezontaba ezimnyama (I'm gonna touch your face) Lapha sobeka phansi (I'm gonna lay me down) Konke ukuhlupheka (in great fields of grace) [Outro] O siyeza, o siyeza , sizofika webaba noma O siyeza, o siyeza, siyagudla lomhlaba Siyawela ngapheshaya kulezontaba ezimnyama Lapha sobheka phansi konke ukuhlupheka
