Dela

One day I looked up and there you were Like a simple question looking for an answer Now I am the whale listening to some inner call Swimming blindly to throw myself upon your shore What if I don't find you when I have landed Would you leave me here to die on your shore stranded I think I know why the dog howls at the moon I think I know why the dog howls at the moon I sing dela, dela Ngyanya Dela When I'm with you Dela, sondela mama Sondela, I burn for you I've been waiting for you all my life, hoping for a miracle I've been waiting day and night, day and night I've been waiting for you all my life, waiting for redemption I've been waiting day and night, I burn for you A blind bird sings inside the cage that is my heart The image of your face comes to me when I'm alone in the dark If I could give a shape to this ache that I have for you If I could find the voice that says the words that capture you I think I know, I think I know I think I know, I think I know I think I know why the dog howls at the moon I think I know why the dog howls at the moon I sing dela, dela Ngyanya Dela When I'm with you Dela, sondela mama Sondela, I burn for you I've been waiting for you all my life, hoping for a miracle I've been waiting day and night, day and night I've been waiting for you all my life, waiting for redemption I've been waiting day and night, I burn for you Sondela Sondela, mama Sondela, I burn for you I've been waiting for you all my life, hoping for a miracle I've been waiting day and night, day and night I've been waiting for you all my life, waiting for redemption I've been waiting day and night, I burn for you Burn for you, I burn for you Burn for you, I burn for you Burn for you, I burn for you Burn for you, I burn for you Burn for you, I burn for you Burn for you, I burn for you
