The Crossing (Osiyeza)

Through all the days that eat away
 At every breath that I take
 Through all the nights I have lain alone
 In someone else's dream, awake
 All the words in truth that we've spoken
 That the wind has blown away
 Oh, it's only you that remains with me
 Clear as the light of day
 O siyeza, o siyeza, sizofika webaba noma
 O siyeza, o siyeza, siyagudle lomhlaba
 Siyawela lapheshaya lulezontaba ezimnyama
 Lapha sobheka phansi konke ukhulupheka
 A punch drunk man in a downtown bar
 Takes a beating without making a sound
 Through swollen eyes, he sways and he smiles
 'Cause no one can put him down
 Inside him, a boy looks up to his father
 For a sign or an approving eye
 Oh, it's funny how those once so close and now gone
 Still so affect our lives
 O siyeza (oh I'm comin') o siyeza (I'll be comin') sizofika webaba noma
 (You know the tide is turnin')
 O siyeza, o siyeza (you know the tide is turnin') siyagudle lomhlaba
 (Make my crossin')
 Siyawela lapheshaya (over the stark land) lulezontaba ezimnyama
 (I'm gonna touch your face)
 Lapha sobheka phansi (gonna lay me down)
 Konke ukhulupheka (in your prayers)
 Take me now, don't let go
 Hold me close, I'm coming home
 O siyeza (oh I'm comin') o siyeza (oh I'm comin')) sizofika webaba noma
 (You know the tide is turnin')
 O siyeza, o siyeza (I'm tellin' you the tide is turnin') siyagudle lomhlaba
 (Gonna make this crossin')
 Siyawela lapheshaya (over the stark land) lulezontaba ezimnyama
 (I'm gonna touch your face)
 Lapha sobheka phansi (gonna lay me down)
 Konke ukhulupheka (in that green field of prayer)
 O siyeza (oh I'm comin') o siyeza (oh I'm comin')
 Sizofika (oh I'm comin') webaba noma (oh I'm comin')
 O siyeza (oh I'm comin') o siyeza (gonna lay me down)
 Siyagudle lomhlaba
 Siyawela (gonna make my crossin') lapheshaya (over the stark land)
 Lulezontaba ezimnyama (I'm gonna touch your face)
 Lapha sobheka phansi (I'm gonna lay me down)
 Konke ukhulupheka (in your green fields of prayer)
 O siyeza, o siyeza, sizofika webaba noma
 O siyeza, o siyeza, siyagudle lomhlaba
 Siyawela lapheshaya lulezontaba ezimnyama
 Lapha sobheka phansi...
