Johnny Clegg Savuka Emotional Allegiance (stand By Me) Lyrics

Emotional Allegiance (stand By Me) Lyrics

I don't want to be a tourist in your heart

I don't want to visit someone else's ruins

Don't want a day trip to the feelings in the dark

Don't want a quick-fix honeymoon



Bridge:

We need: emotional allegiance, devotional love

a living promise like in the story of RAM



Chorus:

Raghupati raghava raja Ram

Patite pavana Sita Ram

Stand be me -- feel the sun

Emotional allegiance -- divine love



There's a change in the weather

and a hole in the sky

snow in the summer

and the rivers run dry

who will guard your fragile dreams of rain

when your heart is tired of daytrippers

and nobody stays....



Bridge:

We need: emotional allegiance, devotional love

a living promise like in the story of RAM



Chorus...
