Here we stand on the edge of the day
Faces melting in the african rain
So many seasons of silent war
So many drowned before they reached the shore
Nothing is clear to me any more in this sad and strange landscape
I've got no defense, i've got no attack
I can't leave, i can't stay and i've got no way back
Hard to deal with the way things have been
I can't lie but the truth is so extreme
Chorus:
Woman be my country, 'till my country can be mine
Hide me deep inside your borders in these dark and troubled times
Remember me my innocence before i drowned in the sea of lies
Woman be my country, 'till my country can be mine
Too many seasons of quiet rage
Too many futures hanging in the balance
Too much owing nothing left to pay
A lonely flag flutters in the breeze
For the hardened hearts who still want to believe
Am i the witness or am i the crime
A victim of history or just a sign of the times
Across my heart questions and shadows still fly
But in the dead of the night i know where the answer lies
Chorus:
Woman be my country, 'till my country can be mine
I have no flag, i sing no anthem, i no longer carry an armalite
Bathe me in you sweet rivers, anoint me with your touch and your smile
To your colours i give my allegiance, i lay it on the line
Ngikhathele ngifile wena weqat' izwe
(i am dead tired of you who causes friction in the land)
Ngikhathele ngifile zindaba zakho
(i am dead tired of you, and your matters)
Yash' imizi yobada
(the homes of my fathers are burning)
Chorus
