Lyrics

I was born inside the rain on a day of wonder
 Locked inside my brain memories of thunder
 I grew up a refugee, my life not fixed or free
 I know the world's not to blame
 'Cause everybody carries my name
 Ooh, these are my Fathers' people
 (Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
 (Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
 Ooh, this is where the Human tree once grew
 (Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
 (Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
 Ooh, we are the children of the new world
 (Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
 (Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
 Ooh, we have a new dream pushing through
 (Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
 (Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
 ♪
 The sky is black with gunships
 But I'm dreaming of a girl
 In her eyes, love and friendship
 But will she understand my world?
 Now I'm like a windswept sea
 Fear and hope crashing over me
 Will she think my world is cruel
 When I share my point of view?
 Ooh, these are my Fathers' people
 (Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
 (Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
 Ooh, this is where the human tree once grew
 (Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
 (Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
 Ooh, we are the children of the new world
 (Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
 (Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
 Ooh, we have a new dream pushing through
 (Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
 (Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
 Oh, it's a strange world, yeah
 (Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
 Oh, it's a caged bird, yeah
 (Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
 Oh, gimme what you say, yeah
 (Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
 (Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
 Oh, gimme a brand new day, yeah
 (Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
 (Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
 Ooh, these are my Fathers' people
 (Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
 (Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
 Ooh, this is where the human tree once grew
 (Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
 (Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
 Ooh, we are the children of the new world
 (Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
 (Hawu ngitshele, ngitshele)
 Ooh, we have a new dream pushing through
