One day I looked up and there you were
like a simple question looking for an answer.
Now I am the whale listening to some inner call
swimming blindly to throw myself upon your shore.
What if I don't find you when I have landed?
Will you leave me here to die on your shore stranded?
I think I know why the dog howls at the moon.
I think I know why the dog howls at the moon.
I sing dela, dela ngyanya dela when I'm with you
dela, sondela mama sondela, I burn for you.
I've been waiting for you all my life hoping for a miracle
I've been waiting day and night, day and night.
I've been waiting for you all my life waiting for redemption
I've been wating day and night, I burn for you.
A blind bird sings inside the cage that is my heart
the image of your face comes to me when I am alone in the dark.
If I could give a shape to this ache that I have for you
If I could find the voice that says the words to capture you.
I think I know, I think I know, I think I know
I think I know why the dog howls at the moon.
I think I know why the dog howls at the moon.
I sing dela, dela ngyanya dela when I'm with you
dela, sondela mama sondela, I burn for you.
I've been waiting for you all my life hoping for a miracle
I've been waiting day and night, day and night.
I've been waiting for you all my life waiting for redemption
I've been wating day and night, I burn for you.
Sondela, sondela, mama sondela, I burn for you.
I've been waiting for you all my life hoping for a miracle
I've been waiting day and night, day and night.
I've been waiting for you all my life waiting for redemption
I've been wating day and night, I burn for you.
Burn for you, I burn for you...
