Shine A Light Lyrics - Johnny Clegg & Savuka

Shine a light, shine a light 

Oh you've got to careful in this world a little sister said to me 

Beware of the silver tongue which hides a gun and a tyranny 

It will speak in words of water 

It will drown you in its lies 

You must be like the fish in the river 

Ad learn to swim against the tide 

CHORUS: 

Some of de man give light in de darkness 

Some of de man he give a cry 

Some of de man he gonna live through the season 

Some of de man he gonna die 

Yo yo mam ye! 

The wheel turn around 

Give me no rest 

She want to hear me cry 

In the darkness 

- Shine a light! 

I drop to the ground 

And hope for the best 

I'm going through the eye 

Of the hurricane 

- Shine a light! 

Oh it's such a sad feeling to see the swallows in the sky 

It's like you leaving me behind without saying goodbye 

I've got to be like a bird in winter 

I've got to learn how to fly 

And if you ever leave 

I'll also take to the sky 

CHORUS 

Speak to me slow slow 

What's going on 

I don't know 

Someone's on the run 

Speak to me slow slow 

Has it all begun 

I don't know 

If he'll make this one 

Speak to me slow slow 

What's the time 

Idon't know 

Can I save this life of mine 

CHORUS
