TOUGH ENOUGH
LOMHLABA UNZIMA, LOMHLABA
(This world is a harsh place, this world.)
Picture the end of a cycle
here’s the fire from heaven
There’s a tired planet closing down
no more news at eleven
somewhere the last of a species has died
somewhere a child is born
when I hold you, I tremble inside
can we ride out the storm?
Are you tough enough - can you take the strain
Are you tough enough - to walk in the burning rain
Are you tough enough - can you take the change
Are you tough enough - baby just say !
CHORUS:
Into the heart of the human dream
into a strange new world
remember me under the Tree of Man
where I first heard your words
gonna make it through, I can feel it !
What we need is a miracle
what we need is some time
what we need is an angel of Mercy in this life
Are you tough enough - can you take the heat
Are you tough enough - to walk in the burning street
Are you tough enough - can you take the change
Are you tough enough - baby just say !
CHORUS:
There’s your mama & your papa
waving good-bye in the cold moonlight
in their eyes the confusion of a world gone by
and you hold me tightly as we step out
into the morning light
and I know you are thinking
that for something to be born
something has to die
CHORUS:
VELE VELE WE MAMA KUNJALO
(It is true, it is obvious, mama, it is just as you say)
