Holdin’ On

[Verse 1: Jazzie B]
In my imagination running wild
I feel the time has passed us by
Staying in my mind all the time
Just like the endless beat, the beat that flows in time
The maze of life is so difficult
I don't what the children to run and fight
Respect is in the eyes of the beholder
Who sees the fun that will come when the sun shines
Together living in unity
There's no need to fight the rough society
I know the time will be here again
When the chances are thin
And you know it will lead to the end

[Chorus: Shikisha]
Bambelela, bambe-lela, hold on
Bambelela, bambe-lela, hold on

[Verse 2: Jazzie B]
I keep this dream in my memory
In my mind for a long time you see
I hope the day will come sometime
When I know the stories to be told
We'll tell the story to the young and old
Both children who grow together in school
Oh now I wish the time we will come
That the dreams that I dream will last for a long time

[Refrain: Shikisha]
Pull me up, pull me up
Pull me up, pull me up
Pull me up, pull me up
Pull me up, pull me up

[Bridge: Jazzie B]
Oh, I feel so magical
And I feel the temptation running through my veins
We'll live together in happiness
And I know the time, the time will come to this
As long as they're holding on
Holding, holding, holding, holding

[Verse 3: Jazzie B]
Well, imagine yourself in a large open space
No communication and no one to race
For you to be in this predicament in time
We'll leave our imaginations open wide
So before the floods the storms may raise
There should be a bride today
Well, on that day we shall live together as one
Happily under the sun

[Outro: Shikisha]
Bambelela, bambe-lela
Bambelela, bambe-lela
Bambelela, bambe-lela
Bambelela, bambe-lela
Bambelela, bambe-lela
