Tough Enough Lyrics - Singles - Clegg Johnny

LOMHLABA UNZIMA, LOMHLABA 

[this world is a harsh place, this world] 

Picture the end of a cycle 

here's the fire from heaven 

There's a tired planeet closing down 

no more news at eleven 

somewhere the last of a species has died 

somewhere a child is born 

when I hold you, I tremble inside 

can we ride out the storm? 

Are you tough enough -- can you take the strain? 

Are you tough enough -- to walk in the burning rain 

Are you tough enough -- can you take the change? 

Are you tough enough -- baby just say! 

Chorus: 

Into the heart of the human dream 

into a strange new world 

remember me under the Tree of Man 

where I first heard your words 

gonna make it through, I can feel it 

What we need is a miracle 

what we need is some time 

what we need is an angel of Mercy 

in this life 

Are you tough enough -- can you take the heat? 

Are you tough enough -- to walk in the burning street 

Are you tough enough -- can you take the change 

Are you tough enough -- baby just say! 

Chorus... 

There's your mama and your papa 

waving good-bye in the cold moonlight 

in their eyes the confusion of a world gone by 

and you hold me tightly as we step out 

into the morning light 

and I know you are thinking that for something to be born 

somthing has to die. 

Chorus... 

Vele vele we mama kunjalo 

[It is true, it's obvious. Mama, it is just as you say].
