Johnny Clegg & Savuka - Human Rainbow

At the end of all bloody human storms
As the last embers and flames glow
We peer up into the wounded sky
And search for the human rainbow
And in the fading light I wonder why
We can never free it from the sky

Wangitshela lendaba
Wangitshela lendaba
Wangitshela lendaba
I can see it ( Wangitshela lendaba )
But never be it ( Wangitshela lendaba )
Until I free it ( Wangitshela lendaba )
From the sky ( Wangitshela lendaba )
Wangitshela lendaba

Same old human story
The saddest winds do blow
While we are trapped in the language of dark history
Underneath a human rainbow

An angry young man draws in the air
Political equations
But time corrupts the fruit they bare
And leads to more desperation
While in the sky, it's a trick of the light
Shine the colors of all creation

Wangitshela lendaba
Wangitshela lendaba
Wangitshela lendaba
I can see it ( Wangitshela lendaba )
But never be it ( Wangitshela lendaba )
Until I free it ( Wangitshela lendaba )
From the sky ( Wangitshela lendaba )
Wangitshela lendaba

Same old human story
The saddest winds will blow
While we are trapped in the language of dark history
Underneath the human rainbow

Ngizokutshela, ngizokutshela
Ngizokutshela, ngizokutshela
I can see it
But never be it
Until I free it
From the sky
Ngizokutshela
Ngizokutshela

Same old human story
The saddest winds will blow
While we are trapped in the language of dark history
Underneath human rainbow

Wangitshela lendaba, wangitshela lendaba
Wangitshela lendaba, wangitshela lendaba
Wangitshela lendaba, wangitshela lendaba ( Same old human story )
Wangitshela lendaba, wangitshela lendaba
Wangitshela lendaba, wangitshela lendaba
Wangitshela lendaba, wangitshela lendaba ( Same old human story )
