Time has passed like the breeze
Breeze that blows through my heart
When I think about transkei seas
Urban rendition left for me
A sea of troubles that I wade everyday
Deep in the city
Twelve revolutions of the moon
It's been a year it's been too long
Since I've seen your face and heard your song
Urban rendition left for me
Song of fire fills the air
We don't care
Deep in the city
Persevere urban child
In your struggle there lies hope
For the ones you left behind
Let their prayers carry you
Although afraid be resolute
They're all looking up to you
Bathembele ngawe
Take your place in the sun
You're the hope you're the one
You can always come home
Home is where you belong
Where the city meets the night
I've heard so much
I've seen so much
I've seen people fight to stay alive
I think of you to hustle on
I think of you don't belong
Here in the city
I came to make you proud
I came here to see the sunrise
Over dreams and skyscrapers
I stay here to meet a need
I stay here to see a seed for you
Now I really need to hear your song
Preserve urban child
In your struggle there lies hope
For the ones you left behind
Let their prayers carry you
Although afraid be resolute
They're all looking up to you
Bathembele ngawe
Take your place in the sun
You're the hope you're the one
You can always come home
Home is where you belong
Take your place in the sun
You're the hope you're the one
You can always come home
Home is where you belong
