Dela

One day I looked up and there you were
Like a simple question looking for an answer
Now I am the whale listening to some inner call
Swimming blindly to throw myself upon your shore
What if I don't find you when I have landed?
Would you leave me here to die on your shore stranded?

I think I know why the dog howls at the moon
I think I know why the dog howls at the moon
I say dela, dela
Ngyanya
Dela
When I'm with you
Dela, dela
Ngyanya
Dela
I burn for you

I've been waiting for you all my life, hoping for a miracle
I've been waiting day and night, day and night
I've been waiting for you all my life, waiting for redemption
I've been waiting day and night, I burn for you

A blind bird sings inside the cage that is my heart
The image of your face comes to me when I'm alone in the dark
If I could give a shape to this ache that I have for you
If I could find the voice that says the words that capture you

I think I know, I think I know
I think I know, I think I know
I think I know why the dog howls at the moon
I think I know why the dog howls at the moon
I say dela, dela
Ngyanya
Dela
When I'm with you
Dela, dela
Ngyanya
Dela
I burn for you

I've been waiting for you all my life, waiting for a miracle
I've been waiting day and night, day and night
I've been waiting for you all my life, hoping for redemption
I've been waiting day and night, I burn for you

I say dela, dela
Ngyanya
Dela
When I'm with you

I've been waiting for you all my life, hoping for a miracle
I've been waiting day and night, day and night
I've been waiting for you all my life, waiting for redemption
I've been waiting day and night, I burn for you

I burn for you, I burn for you
I burn for you, I burn for you
Oh, I burn for you, I burn for you
Oh, you know, I burn for you, I burn for you
I burn for you, I burn for you
I burn for you, I burn for you

I say dela, dela
Ngyanya
Dela
I burn for you
