The Crossing (Osiyeza)

[Verse 1]
Through all the days that eat away
At every breath that I take
Through all the nights I've lain alone
In someone else's dream, awake
All the words in truth that we've spoken
That the wind has blown away
Oh, It's only you that remains with me
Clear as the light of day

[Chorus]
O siyeza, o siyeza , sizofika webaba noma
O siyeza, o siyeza, siyagudla lomhlaba
Siyawela ngapheshaya kulezontaba ezimnyama
Lapha sobheka phansi konke ukuhlupheka

[Verse 2]
A punch drunk man in a downtown bar
Takes a beating without making a sound
Through swollen eyes he sways and he smiles
'Cause no one can put him down
Inside of him a boy looks up to his father
For a sign or an approving eye
Oh, it's funny how those once so close are now gone
Still so affect our lives

[Chorus]
O siyeza, (o I'm coming), o siyeza (I'll be coming)
Sizofika webaba noma. (You know the tide is turning)
O siyeza, o siyeza, (You know the tide is turning)
Siyagudla lomhlaba (midnight Crossing)
Siyawela ngapheshaya (over this dark land)
Kulezontaba ezimnyama (I'm gonna touch your face)
Lapha sobeka phansi (gonna lay me down)
Konke ukuhlupheka (in your grace)

[Bridge]
Take me now, don't let go
Hold me close, I'm coming home

[Chorus]
O siyeza, (o I'm coming), o siyeza (O I'm coming)
Sizofika webaba noma. (You know the tide is turning)
O siyeza, o siyeza, (I'm telling you the tide is turning)
Siyagudla lomhlaba (Gonna make this crossing)
Siyawela ngapheshaya (over this dark land)
Kulezontaba ezimnyama (I'm gonna touch your face)
Lapha sobeka phansi (gonna lay me down)
Konke ukuhlupheka (in that great field of grace)

[Chorus]
O siyeza, (O I'm coming), o siyeza (O I'm coming)
Sizofika (O I'm coming) webaba noma. (O I'm coming)
O siyeza, (O I'm coming) o siyeza, (gonna lay me down)
Siyagudla lomhlaba
Siyawela (Gonna make this crossing)
Ngapheshaya (over this dark land)
Kulezontaba ezimnyama (I'm gonna touch your face)
Lapha sobeka phansi (I'm gonna lay me down)
Konke ukuhlupheka (in great fields of grace)

[Outro]
O siyeza, o siyeza , sizofika webaba noma
O siyeza, o siyeza, siyagudla lomhlaba
Siyawela ngapheshaya kulezontaba ezimnyama
Lapha sobheka phansi konke ukuhlupheka
