One day I looked up and there you were Like a simple question looking for an answer Now I am like the whale listening to some inner call Swimming blindly to throw myself upon your shore What if I don't find you when I have landed Won't you leave me here to die on your shore stranded I think I know why the dog howls at the moon I think I know why the dog howls at the moon I sing, Dela, dela ngyanya dela I burn for you Dela, sondela mama sondela, I burn for you I've been waiting for you all my life, waiting for a miracle I've been waiting day and night, day and night I've been waiting for you all my life, waiting for redemption I've been waiting day and night, I burn for you A blind bird sings inside the cage that is my heart The image of your face comes to me when I am alone in the dark If I could give a shape to this ache that I have for you If I could find the voice that says the words that capture you I think I know, I think I know, I think I know, I think I know I think I know why the dog howls at the moon I think I know why the dog howls at the moon I sing Dela, dela ngyanya dela, I burn for you Dela, sondela mama sondela, I burn for you I've been waiting for you all my life, waiting for a miracle I've been waiting day and night, day and night I've been waiting for you all my life, waiting for redemption I've been waiting day and night, I burn for you Yes I burn for you Yes I, Dela, I burn for you We sing Dela, dela ngyanya dela, I burn for you I've been waiting for you all my life, waiting for a miracle I've been waiting day and night, day and night I've been waiting for you all my life, you know I'm waiting for redemption I've been waiting day and night, I burn for you Burn for you, I burn for you ( All my life, day and night ) Burn for you, I burn for you ( All my life, you know I burn for you ) Burn for you, I burn for you ( All my life, day and night ) Burn for you, I burn for you ( You know I, I burn for you ) I burn for you, I burn for you I burn for you too, I burn for you And for you and for you, you and for you, You and for you, you and for you You and for you, you and for you You and for you and for you and for you Dela, dela, dela, I burn for you Dela, dela, sondela, I burn for you
