Johnny Clegg Savuka Shine A Light Lyrics

Shine A Light Lyrics

Shine a light, shine a light







Oh you've got to careful in this world a little sister said to me



Beware of the silver tongue which hides a gun and a tyranny



It will speak in words of water



It will drown you in its lies



You must be like the fish in the river



Ad learn to swim against the tide







CHORUS:



Some of de man give light in de darkness



Some of de man he give a cry



Some of de man he gonna live through the season



Some of de man he gonna die



Yo yo mam ye!







The wheel turn around



Give me no rest



She want to hear me cry



In the darkness



- Shine a light!



I drop to the ground



And hope for the best



I'm going through the eye



Of the hurricane



- Shine a light!







Oh it's such a sad feeling to see the swallows in the sky



It's like you leaving me behind without saying goodbye



I've got to be like a bird in winter



I've got to learn how to fly



And if you ever leave



I'll also take to the sky







CHORUS







Speak to me slow slow



What's going on



I don't know



Someone's on the run



Speak to me slow slow



Has it all begun



I don't know



If he'll make this one



Speak to me slow slow



What's the time



Idon't know



Can I save this life of mine







CHORUS
