Urban Child
Time has passed like the breeze
The breeze that blows through my heart
When I think about the Transkei seas
Urban rendition left for me
Sea of trouble that I wade everyday
Deep in the city
12 revolutions of the moon
It's been a year, it's been too long
Since I've seen your face and heard your song
Urban rendition left for me
Song of fire fills the air
We don't care
Deep in the city
Persevere, urban child
In your struggle, there lies hope
For the ones you left behind
Let their prayers carry you
Although afraid, be resolute
They're all looking up to you
Bathembele ngawe
Take your place in the sun
You're their hope, you're the one
You can always come home
Here is where you belong
Where the city meets the night
I've heard so much
I've seen so much
I've seen people fight to stay alive
I think of you to hustle on
I think of you 'cause I know I don't belong
Here in the city
I came here to make you proud
I came here to see the sunrise
Over dreams and skyscrapers
I stay here to meet a need
I stay here to sow a seed for you
But I really need to hear your song
Persevere, urban child
In your struggle, there lies hope
For the ones you left behind
Let their prayers carry you
Although afraid, be resolute
They're all looking up to you
Bathembele ngawe
Take your place in the sun
You're their hope, you're the one
You can always come home
Here is where you belong
Take your place in the sun
You're their hope, you're the one
You can always come home
Here is where you belong
