Johnny Clegg - Emotional Allegiance (stand By Me) lyrics

I don't want to visit someone else's ruins

Don't want a day trip to the feelings in the dark

Don't want a quick-fix honeymoon

Bridge:

We need: emotional allegiance, devotional love

a living promise like in the story of RAM

Chorus:

Raghupati raghava raja Ram

Patite pavana Sita Ram

Stand be me -- feel the sun

Emotional allegiance -- divine love

There's a change in the weather

and a hole in the sky

snow in the summer

and the rivers run dry

who will guard your fragile dreams of rain

when your heart is tired of daytrippers

and nobody stays....

Bridge:

We need: emotional allegiance, devotional love

a living promise like in the story of RAM

Chorus
