The Crossing (osiyeza)

<br>(for Dudu)<br>Through all the days that eat away<br>at every breath that I take<br>through all the nights I`ve lain alone<br>in someone else`s dream, awake<br>all the words in truth we have spoken<br>that the wind has blown away<br>it`s only you that remains with me<br>clear as the light of day<br>Chorus: O Siyeza, o siyeza , sizofika webaba noma<br>(we are coming, we are coming, we will arrive soon)<br>O siyeza, o siyeza, siyagudle lomhlaba<br>(we are coming, we are coming, we are moving across this earth)<br>Siyawela lapheshaya lulezontaba ezimnyama<br>(we are crossing over those dark mountains)<br>Lapha sobheka phansi konke ukhulupheka<br>(where we will lay down our troubles)<br>A punch drunk man in a downtown bar<br>takes a beating without making a sound<br>through swollen eyes he sways and smiles<br>`cause noone can put him down<br>inside of him a boy looks up to his father<br>for a sign or an approving eye<br>oh, it`s funny how those once so close and now gone<br>can still so affect our lives<br>Chorus<br>Take me now, hold me close<br>don`t let go, I`m coming home<br>Chorus
