Traditional THULASIZWE UNGABOKHALA U JEHOVA WAKHO UZOKUNQOBELA INKULULEKO, INKULULEKO U JEHOVA WAKHO UZOKUNQOBELA They say everything can be replaced Yet every distance is not near So I remember every face Of every man who put me here I see the light come shining From the west unto the east Any day now any day now I shall be released They say every man needs protection They say every man must fall Yet I swear I see my reflection Some place too high above this wall Now yonder standing me in this lonely crowd A man who swears he's not to blame ALl day long I hear his voice shouting so loud Crying out that he was framed I see the light come shining From the west unto the east Any day now any day now I shall be released
