Johnny Clegg & Savuka - Shine a light lyrics

Shine a light, shine a light

Oh you've got to careful in this world a little sister said to me

Beware of the silver tongue which hides a gun and a tyranny

It will speak in words of water

It will drown you in its lies

You must be like the fish in the river

Ad learn to swim against the tide

CHORUS:

Some of de man give light in de darkness

Some of de man he give a cry

Some of de man he gonna live through the season

Some of de man he gonna die

Yo yo mam ye!

The wheel turn around

Give me no rest

She want to hear me cry

In the darkness

- Shine a light!

I drop to the ground

And hope for the best

I'm going through the eye

Of the hurricane

- Shine a light!

Oh it's such a sad feeling to see the swallows in the sky

It's like you leaving me behind without saying goodbye

I've got to be like a bird in winter

I've got to learn how to fly

And if you ever leave

I'll also take to the sky

CHORUS

Speak to me slow slow

What's going on

I don't know

Someone's on the run

Speak to me slow slow

Has it all begun

I don't know

If he'll make this one

Speak to me slow slow

What's the time

Idon't know

Can I save this life of mine

CHORUS
