Elias (live In Studio) Lyrics

kasiwa i

 makasimba ere

 ndakasimba kana makasimba ow

 ndakasimba

 you raise your head, you  beat the sun

 but your boys they lie so close to you

 do you dare get up and wake the two 

 oh elias, I see you there at work in the day time

 do you think you could answer all the questions in the world

 in just one word- I think you could

 

 [CHORUS:]

 'cause if you die will I get word that your gone

 or will I hear it in passing conversation

 or will I stop short and fall to the ground

 distance is short when your hand carries what your eye found

 

 hold my hand just one more time

 to see if you're really going to meet me

 hold my hand just one more time

 to see if you're really going to meet me

 honest and manuel, well they're at school now

 given the chance that their father's never seen

 to see what's beyond section 17

 and in ten years when you look back at your boys

 well you know they've grown way taller than the tallest

 sugar cane in the field

 

 [CHORUS]

 

 I see your wife she stands stooped over by the fire outside

 and I see your boys and when they look up

 you know I think they got their mother's eyes

 'cause she looks so proud she looks so happy

 she looks so proud she looks so happy

 

 [CHORUS]
