Nal' Ithemba (Harbouring Hope) [feat. Xolani Faku]

The sea is patient
The moon lights a path from her womb to the raft
Oh we're waiting
Believing in promises born in the dark warmth of dreams
Hope meets concrete
Believing is hard as her dreams turn to rust
Salt to metal
She prays for the gold in her heart not to whither away

Please let these dreams sail
Burden is heavy Help it float in me
Let these dreams sail
Dawn is breaking the sleep of the ones that are harbouring hope

Nal' ithemba, nal' ithemba, nal' ithemba, nalo, naliya Nal' ithemba,
nal' ithemba, nal' ithemba, nalo, naliya | Nal' ithemba,
nal' ithemba, nal' ithemba, nalo,
naliya Nalo ithemba, naliya, nalo ithemba, naliya, naliya

Dear wind carry me now
Beyond the limits of fear
The dark beauty of waiting won't choke what
I'm longing to give This hope anchors my soul
The sea has spoken, I believe
I'm alive in the promise... 'Made for the deep of the sea'

Hope born bravely
Unquestioned it bloomed 'till the weight of the wait grew to
anchors The doubt and the mould on
the chains pulled hope under the sea...
