[Verse 1]
Drifting
I'm drifting away
Into the darkness
Ndizothath' umthwalo
Ndimbeke emqolo mama
Ubomi bunzima
So lift my head up high
Open my eyes
And I will fly oh
I'm barely coping
I'm feeling closed in
Looking up, hoping
The heavens will open
Mdali wezulu
Ndikhalela kuwe
Open up, open up
I'm feeling closer now
The light is shining brighter but I'm losing my flow
[Pre-Chorus]
Kudala ndisiwa ndivuka
Ndifuna noluthando
Ndifuna noluthando mmn
Kudala ndifuna ubomi buvume
Vungama ngonyama
Vungama
[Chorus]
Avuleka avuleka
Avuleka avuleka avuleka amazulu
'vuleka amazulu
'vuleka amazulu
Oooooh
Avuleka avuleka avuleka
'Vuleka amazulu
'Vuleka amazulu
'Vuleka amazulu
[Verse 2]
I'm giving, they're taking
Tripping, I'm falling
Tell me I'm nothing
Don't care what they saying
And I'm begging you darling
Stop losing your flow
Ey no more drifting
No more drifting away
Livumil' icamagu
Avulekile amazulu
I'm fighting for survival
Ndiliqhawe, ndiliqhawe
Ndiyingonyama
[Refrain]
Eeeehh-Ooooohh
Oooo-ooooh, oooo-ooooh
[Chorus]
Avuleka avuleka
Avuleka avuleka avuleka amazulu
'vuleka amazulu
'vuleka amazulu
Ooooh
Avuleka avuleka avuleka
'Vuleka amazulu
'Vuleka amazulu
'Vuleka amazulu
