Lyrics
I have my scars, you have yours
– Nginamanxeba ami, wena unamanxeba akho
Don’t let them take your power
– Ungabavumeli bathathe amandla akho
Don’t leave it alone in the final hours
– Ungashiyi yedwa emahoreni okugcina
They’ll take your soul, they’ll take your power
– Bayothatha umphefumulo wakho, bayothatha amandla akho
Don’t close your eyes and hope for the best
– Ungavali amehlo akho futhi ulindele okuhle kakhulu
The dark is out there, the light is going fast
– Ubumnyama bukhona, ukukhanya kuhamba ngokushesha
Until the final hours, your life’s forever changed
– Kuze kube amahora okugcina, ukuphila kwakho kwashintshaeverade
And all the rights that you had yesterday
– Futhi wonke amalungelo owawunawo izolo
Are taken away
– Ziyasuswa
And now you’re afraid
– Manje uyesaba
You should be afraid
– Kufanele wesabe
Should be afraid
– Kufanele wesabe
Because everything I fought for
– Ngoba konke engangilwela
Long ago in a dream is gone
– Kudala iphupho seliphelile
Someone said the dream is not over
– Othile wathi iphupho alipheli
The dream has just begun, or
– Iphupho lisanda kuqala, noma
Is it a nightmare?
– Ingabe kuyiphupho elibi?
Is it a lasting scar?
– Ingabe kuyisibazi esihlala njalo?
It is unless you save it and that’s that
– Akukhona ngaphandle kokuba uyigcine futhi yilokho
Unless you stand up and take it back
– Ngaphandle uma usukuma uyibuyisele emuva
And take it back
– Futhi uyibuyisele
I have my scars, you have yours
– Nginamanxeba ami, wena unamanxeba akho
Don’t let them take your power
– Ungabavumeli bathathe amandla akho
Don’t leave it alone in the final hours
– Ungashiyi yedwa emahoreni okugcina
They’ll take your soul, they’ll take your power
– Bayothatha umphefumulo wakho, bayothatha amandla akho
Unless you stand up and take it back
– Ngaphandle uma usukuma uyibuyisele emuva
Try to see the future and get mad
– Zama ukubona ikusasa bese uthukuthela
It’s slipping through your fingers, you don’t have what you had
– Uyangena ngeminwe yakho, awunalokho owawunakho
You don’t have much time to get it back
– Awunaso isikhathi esiningi sokuyibuyisa
I wanna be the lighthouse
– Ngifuna ukuba isibani
Bring all of you together
– Letha nonke ndawonye
Bring it out in a song
– Khipha ingoma
Bring it out in stormy weather
– Yikhiphe ngesimo sezulu esinesiphepho
Tell them the story
– Batshele indaba
(Oh) I wanna teach ’em to fight
– (Oh) ngifuna ukubafundisa ukulwa
(Oh) I wanna tell ’em this has happened before
– (Oh) ngifuna ukubatshela ukuthi lokhu kwenzeke ngaphambili
(Oh) Don’t let it happen again
– (Oh) Ungavumeli ukuba kwenzeke futhi
I have my scars, you have yours
– Nginamanxeba ami, wena unamanxeba akho
Don’t let them take your power
– Ungabavumeli bathathe amandla akho
Don’t leave it alone in the final hours
– Ungashiyi yedwa emahoreni okugcina
They’ll take your soul, they’ll take your power
– Bayothatha umphefumulo wakho, bayothatha amandla akho
Unless you save it and that’s that
– Ngaphandle kokuba uyigcine futhi yilokho
Unless you stand up and take it back
– Ngaphandle uma usukuma uyibuyisele emuva
Try to see the future and get mad
– Zama ukubona ikusasa bese uthukuthela
It’s slippin’ through your fingers, you don’t have what you had
– Kuyashelela ngeminwe yakho, awunakho lokho owawunakho
You don’t have much time
– Awunaso isikhathi esiningi
You gotta get in the game
– Kumelwe ungene emdlalweni
You gotta learn how to play
– Kumelwe ufunde ukudlala
You gotta make a change
– Kumelwe wenze ushintsho
You gotta do it today
– Kumelwe ukwenze namuhla
In the midnight hour, they’ll slam the door
– Phakathi kwamabili, bayovala umnyango
Make you forget what you were fighting for
– Kwenze ukhohlwe ukuthi ulwela ini
Put you back in your place, they’ll shut you down
– Bakubuyisele endaweni yakho, bazokuvala
You better learn how to fight, you better say it out loud
– Kungcono ufunde ukulwa, kungcono ukusho ngokuzwakalayo
(Oh)
– (Oh)
(Oh)
– (Oh)
