Jongosi - Johnny Clegg Lyrics

Today is the reckoning

Today we hold the line

Today is the quickening

Of the blood and the soul and the mind

I see the colour of spirit

I see the colour of pain

I see the colour of brotherhood

In the burning rain



Chorus:

HAYI WEMAJONGOSI

Hey, young warriors

AZOVIMBA PHAMBILI

They will overcome all challenges ahead



These are the days you will remember

These are the days of dreams

These are the days of no-surrender

These are the days of wonder

These are the days of life

These are the days of thunder

We are the river running

We are the mighty sea

Feel the spirit and the power



CHORUS



Today we stand together

Today we hold the line

Today we live forever



I can feel your heart beat

Like a warrior’s drum

I can see your eyes on fire

Like the flame in the sun

I see lives in the balance

I see the future on hold

I feel a hurricane

And courage in the bone



CHORUS
