Jongosi Lyrics

Johnny Clegg Jongosi

Today is the reckoning
Today we hold the line
Today is the quickening
Of the blood and the soul and the mind
I see the colour of spirit
I see the colour of pain
I see the colour of brotherhood
In the burning rain

Chorus:
HAYI WEMAJONGOSI
Hey, young warriors
AZOVIMBA PHAMBILI
They will overcome all challenges ahead

These are the days you will remember
These are the days of dreams
These are the days of no-surrender
These are the days of wonder
These are the days of life
These are the days of thunder
We are the river running
We are the mighty sea
Feel the spirit and the power

CHORUS

Today we stand together
Today we hold the line
Today we live forever

I can feel your heart beat
Like a warrior’s drum
I can see your eyes on fire
Like the flame in the sun
I see lives in the balance
I see the future on hold
I feel a hurricane
And courage in the bone

CHORUS
