In Swahili Lyrics

Chorus:

In Swahili there’s a saying that the word is broken English

In Swahili there’s a saying every key has a lock

In Swahili there’s a saying the world is small it’s just a ship

If you don’t do it you won’t gain

It’s your dreams conquer them

They say true words are never beautiful, but listen

Verse One:

Come on out little bird

Don’t hold back, face your fears

I understand your predicament but

the nest is small it’s not the world

Spread your wings ‘cause they’re meant to fly

Shine; ask the star what’s her secret

Dine; for this world has many flavours

You’ll be fine you’re so much stronger than a porcupine

Believe; so say the word of God

Chorus:

Verse Two:

Fly away little bird

Don’t come home until you’re strong

Find me a leaf on top of Kilimandjaro

No more sorrow for what’s over

Long gone are the days when you thought

You won’t see the clear blue sky

All it took was to turn the key

And there you are…

Standing braver than Jumbo the elephant

Like a child of the universe

Like an Angel on a swing

Bringing promises of sunshine – ooh – like a weatherman

Chorus Till Fade
