Johnny Clegg - Love in the Time of Gaza lyrics
[Johnny Clegg - Love in the Time of Gaza lyrics]
I was born inside the rain on a day of wonder
Locked inside my brain memories of thunder
I grew up a refugee
My life not fixed or free
I know the world's not to blame
'Cause everybody carries my name
Ooh, these are my Fathers' people
(Hawu ngit'shele, ngit'shele)
(Hawu ngit'shele, ngit'shele)
Ooh, this is where the Human tree once grew
(Hawu ngit'shele, ngit'shele)
(Hawu ngit'shele, ngit'shele)
Ooh, we are the children of the new world
(Hawu ngit'shele, ngit'shele)
(Hawu ngit'shele, ngit'shele)
Ooh, we have a new dream pushing through
(Hawu ngit'shele, ngit'shele)
(Hawu ngit'shele, ngit'shele)
The sky is black with gunships
But I'm dreaming of a girl
In her eyes, love and friendship
But will she understand my world?
Now I'm like a windswept sea
Fear and hope crashing over me
Will she think my world is cruel
When I share my point of view?
Ooh, these are my Fathers' people
(Hawu ngit'shele, ngit'shele)
(Hawu ngit'shele, ngit'shele)
Ooh, this is where the human tree once grew
(Hawu ngit'shele, ngit'shele)
(Hawu ngit'shele, ngit'shele)
Ooh, we are the children of the new world
(Hawu ngit'shele, ngit'shele)
(Hawu ngit'shele, ngit'shele)
Ooh, we have a new dream pushing through
(Hawu ngit'shele, ngit'shele)
(Hawu ngit'shele, ngit'shele)
Oh, it's a strange world, yeah
(Hawu ngit'shele, ngit'shele)
Oh, it's a caged bird, yeah
(Hawu ngit'shele, ngit'shele)
Oh, gimme what you say, yeah
(Hawu ngit'shele, ngit'shele)
(Hawu ngit'shele, ngit'shele)
Oh, gimme a brand new day, yeah
(Hawu ngit'shele, ngit'shele)

Ooh, these are my Fathers' people
