Rubbing Sand in My Eyes

You're rubbing sand in my eyes
You speak half-truths and lies
You don't answer any of my whys
You're rubbing sand in my eyes

Swollen minds without no hearts
So misguided
And secret parts, ey just blaring silly tunes
Empty speeches like hot air balloons
So much garbage so many lies
Rubbing sand right into our eyes

I say
Reunite, it is wrong to assume
The clouds of shades are drawn
He won't come up (He won't come up)
Our peace wouldn't guide him
He's afraid

The child wants to know why (Ngoana o batla ho tseba)
Ngoana o batla ho tseba (Ngoana o batla ho tseba)
Ngoana o batla ho nocha (Why)
Ngoana o batla ho tseba
Ngoana o batla ho nocha (Why)

Ngoana o batla ho tseba
Ngoana o batla ho nocha (Why)
Ngoana o batla ho tseba
Ngoana o batla ho nocha (Why)

Now we're stuck in a rhythm
And pain to break loose

Mother Nature is weeping
Cause the truth's gone astray
So we sing of insanity
Just another day

It's the echoes of tomorrow
Which makes today worthwhile
And it's the memories of yesterday
Which give us strength to try and try again

Because in the circle of time
There's no use in moaning
A new age is dawning
In the circle of time

Stop rubbing sand in my eyes
You're rubbing sand in our eyes

Whilst the winds of centuries blow
That's blowing up a hurricane
Through every thinking soul
It's blowing through the strings of a silent symphony
And speaking of the power of forgotten dignity
Mother Nature is weeping
All the truth has gone astray

So we sing of insanity
Or just another day
Motorcars are swerving
O'er the cliffs of croocked bands
And many people feel that this year will be the end
