Baleka uzohaqwa!
(Escape before you are
injured!)
Uwahaqwa!
(Too late he is
injured!)
Webaba sicel'impilo
(Father, give
us life, save our lives)

At the end of all
bloody human storms
As the last embers and
flames glow
We peer up into the wounded
sky
And search for the human rainbow
And in
the fading light I wonder why
We can never free
it from the sky

Wangitshela lendaba
(You
have told me of this thing)
I can see it, but
never be it, until I free it
From the
sky

Chorus

Same old human
story
The saddest winds do blow
While we
are trapped in the language of dark
history
Underneath a human rainbow

An
angry young man draws in the air
Political
equations
But time corrupts the fruit they
bare
And leads to more desperation
While in
the sky -- it's a trick of the light
Shine the
colors of all
creation

Chorus

Ngizokutshela!
(I
will tell you, that's how it is).

Same old
human story
Same old human story
