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)
