I was born inside the rain on a day of wonder
Deep inside my brain memories of thunder
I grew up a refugee, my life not fixed or free
I know the world's not to blame
Cos' everybody carries my name
CHORUS:
Oooh! These are my Fathers' people - (Hawu Ngitshele! Ngitshele! - tell me! tell me!)
Oooh! This is where the Human tree once grew
Oooh ! We are the children of a new world
Oooh ! We have a new dream pushing through
The sky is black with gunships , but I'm dreaming of a girl
In her eyes love and friendship , but will she understand my world ?
Now I'm like a windswept sea, fear and hope washing over me
Will she think my world is cruel , when I share my point of view?
CHORUS
Oh ...It's a strange world ... hawu ngitshele ! Ngitshele !yeah!
Oh ..It's a caged bird ...yeah!
Oh...gimme what you say ....yeah!
Oh... gimme a brand new day ...yeah!
Deep inside my brain memories of thunder
I grew up a refugee, my life not fixed or free
I know the world's not to blame
Cos' everybody carries my name
CHORUS:
Oooh! These are my Fathers' people - (Hawu Ngitshele! Ngitshele! - tell me! tell me!)
Oooh! This is where the Human tree once grew
Oooh ! We are the children of a new world
Oooh ! We have a new dream pushing through
The sky is black with gunships , but I'm dreaming of a girl
