Take My Heart Away Lyrics - Johnny Clegg & Savuka

Chorus 

Take my heart away (repeat) 

To be the sound of wild geese calling 

To be ten seasons in a night 

To dance the sun beyond the tides of war and peace 

To put silence stained by crimes to flight 

I need to heart-break-loose-the wind 

Dedela umoya wami, baba 

(set my spirit free, father) 

Chorus 

To see your eyes shine like two desert stars 

To see life burning with a mission 

To break the empty circle of living and dying 

To leave a child with a vision 

I need to heart-break-loose-the wind 

Dedela umoya wami, baba 

(set my spirit free, father) 

Chorus 

Sing me the songs that won the battle 

Sing me the first and the last man's glory 

Sing me the songs that taste of freedom 

Thread me through with your sacred needle 

Liyeza, liyeza, liyeza ilanga lami seliyeza 

(it's coming, it's coming, my day is coming)
