Elias (live In Studio) Lyrics - Silent Steeples - Dispatch

Dai Jesu achoinekwa ndaizofara naye 

Dai Jesu achoinekwa ndaizofara naye 

Taizofara naye, fara naye 

Taizofara naye, fara naye 

Dai Jesu achoinekwa ndaizofara naye 

Dai Jesu achoinekwa ndaizofara naye 

Taizofara naye, fara naye 

Taizofara naye, fara naye 

Kwaziwai? Kwaziwai? 

Makasimba, here? 

Ndakasimba kana makasimbawo 

Ndakasimba, ndakasimba 

Ndakasimba kana makasimbawo 

You raise you head, you beat the sun 

But your boys they lie so close to you 

Do you dare get up and wake the two? 

Oh Elias, I see you there at work in the day time 

Do you think you could 

Answer all the questions in the world 

In just one word I think you could 

If you die will I get word that you're gone 

Or will I hear it in passing conversation 

Or will I stop short and fall to the ground 

Distance is short when your hand carries what your eye found 

Hold my hand just one more time 

To see if you're really going to meet me 

Hold my hand just one more time 

To see if you're really going to meet me 

Honest and Manuel, well they're at school now 

Given the chance that their father's never seen 

To see what's beyond section 17 

And in ten years when you look back at your boys 

Well, you know they've grown 

Way taller than the tallest 

Sugar cane in the field 

If you die will I get word that you're gone 

Or will I hear it in passing conversation 

Or will I stop short and fall to the ground 

Distance is short when your hand carries what your eye found 

Hold my hand just one more time 

To see if you're really going to meet me 

Hold my hand just one more time 

Hold my hand just one more time 

Hold my hand just one more time 

To see if you're really going to meet me 

I see your wife she stands stooped over by the fire outside 

And I see your boys and when they look up 

You know I think they got their mother's eyes 

'Cause she looks so proud, she looks so happy 

She looks so proud, she looks so happy 

If you die will I get word that you're gone 

Or will I hear it in passing conversation 

Or will I stop short and fall to the ground 

Distance is short when your hand carries what your eye found 

Hold my hand just one more time 

To see if you're really going to meet me 

Hold my hand just one more time 

To see if you're really going to meet me 

Hold my hand just one more time 

Hold my hand one more time 

Hold my hand just one more time 

To see if you're really going to meet me 

Hold my hand just one more time 

To see if you're really going to meet me
