Chorus Take my heart away (repeat) To be the sound of wild geese calling To be ten seasons in a night To dance the sun beyond the tides of war and peace To put silence stained by crimes to flight I need to heart-break-loose-the wind Dedela umoya wami, baba (set my spirit free, father) Chorus To see your eyes shine like two desert stars To see life burning with a mission To break the empty circle of living and dying To leave a child with a vision I need to heart-break-loose-the wind Dedela umoya wami, baba (set my spirit free, father) Chorus Sing me the songs that won the battle Sing me the first and the last man's glory Sing me the songs that taste of freedom Thread me through with your sacred needle Liyeza, liyeza, liyeza ilanga lami seliyeza (it's coming, it's coming, my day is coming)
