Amazulu - Amanda Black

Drifting

I’m drifting away

Into the darkness

Ndizothath' umthwalo

Ndimbeke emqolo mama

Ubomi bunzima

So lift my head up high

Open my eyes

And I will fly oh

I’m barely coping

I’m feeling closed in

Looking up, hoping

The heavens will open

Mdali wezulu

Ndikhalela kuwe

Open up, open up

I’m feeling closer now

The light is shining brighter but I’m losing my flow

Kudala ndisiwa ndivuka

Ndifuna noluthando

Ndifuna noluthando mmn

Kudala ndifuna ubomi buvume

Vungama ngonyama

Vungama

Avuleka avuleka

Avuleka avuleka avuleka amazulu

'Vuleka amazulu

'Vuleka amazulu

Oooooh

Avuleka avuleka avuleka

'Vuleka amazulu

'Vuleka amazulu

'Vuleka amazulu

I’m giving, they’re taking

Tripping, I’m falling

Tell me I’m nothing

Don’t care what they saying

And I’m begging you darling

Stop losing your flow

Ey no more drifting

No more drifting away

Livumil' icamagu

Avulekile amazulu

I’m fighting for survival

Ndiliqhawe, ndiliqhawe

Ndiyingonyama

Eeeehh-Ooooohh

Oooo-ooooh, oooo-ooooh

Avuleka avuleka

Avuleka avuleka avuleka amazulu

Drifting

I'm drifting away

Into the darkness

I'll take the load

I put him on my back, mother

Life is hard

So lift my head up high

Open my eyes

And I will fly oh

I'm barely coping

I'm feeling closed in

Looking up, hoping

The heavens will open

Creator of heaven

I cry to you

Open up, open up

I'm feeling closer now

The light is shining brighter but I'm losing my flow

It's been a long time since I woke up

I also want love

I also want love mmn

For a long time, I wanted life to agree

The lion roars

Vungama

They opened and opened

The heavens opened and opened

'Open up the heavens

'Open up the heavens

Oooooh

They opened and opened and opened

'Open up the heavens

'Open up the heavens

'Open up the heavens

I'm giving, they're taking

Tripping, I'm falling

Tell me I'm nothing

Don't care what they say

And I'm begging you darling

Stop losing your flow

No more drifting

No more drifting away

It's loud

The heavens are open

I'm fighting for survival

I am a hero, I am a hero

I am a lion

Eeeehh-Ooooohh

Ooo-ooooh, oooo-ooooh

They opened and opened

The heavens opened and opened
